    Mouse doesn't work after Knoppix upgrade

    Hi,

    I did apt-get upgrade, and apparantly messed up my config. I have a normal PS/2 mouse, and now it doesn't work. When I do 'cat /dev/psaux' I can see the signals it sends when I move it and it's fine. I had gpm, but I removed it (apt-get remove gpm), since I understood it conflicts with the X config.

    Here's the relevant snippet from the xconfig. I know there are some duplicates. Pls tell me what I have to remove or edit. It's a scroll whell mouse, ps/2, standard (by Dell).

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard0"
    Driver "keyboard"
    Option "CoreKeyboard"
    Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"

    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scrol l"
    EndSection

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Serial Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "Microsoft"
    Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
    Option "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
    Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    EndSection

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "PS/2 Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "auto"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
    Option "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
    Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    EndSection

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "PS/2 Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "Buttons" "5"
    EndSection

    If you have your mouse working with the live-cd you can copy over the XF86Config-4 file to your hd.
    This is what I have for PS/2:

    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
    Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer"
    # Serial Mouse not detected
    # USB Mouse not detected
    EndSection

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "PS/2 Mouse" # Match this with InputDevice above
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" # Try PS/2 if it doesn't work
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
    Option "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
    Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    EndSection
