Microsoft USB mouse problem.
my computer is a samsung X05 laptop which has a touchpad.
I am currently using knoppix 3.3 (ah, the memories of when i first used it lol)
and i am trying to use Microsoft USB mouse. however when i looked at x86config-4 (or whatever)
it told me that USB mouse is not detected.
however it did tell me that my touchpad (which is probably ps/2 port) has been detected and i have been using the touchpad.
i checked everything i could find in this forum but none of them worked.
is there any way of using my usb mouse?

i do not have a 3.3 knoppix but on my 3.4 my mouse works, hmm.
anyway, here is relevant lines in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section of my installed Slackware10 with a ps2 "mouse" (laptop touchpad) and my ps2 conected IntelliMouse3.0 (only diference is a green plug converting between the usb and ps2 conectors).
For you /dev/mouse may be: /dev/input/mice, /dev/psaux, /dev/input/mouce0, /dev/misc/psaux
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen 1"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
hope it helps you some.
ps in xorg.conf there is a section that gives this as possible drivers, just a hint.
# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:
# Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
# Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2
# MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse
# ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue

i connected my usb mouse before turning the comp on, then i ran knoppix from the CD, then i reinstalled knoppix and i ran the knoppix again on hard disk and it now configues my usb mouse.
well, anyway thanks for the help. it might become handy when i get to install knoppix 3.6

would be nice if you posted the relevant parts of your x config here, so that others may benefit...
