Configuring a mouse

I cannnot get a mouse working on knoppix once i hdd-install. Ive tried my usb mouse which i use with windows, and i used with knoppix on cd. I've also tried mutiple Ps/2 mice (All microsoft, 2 with wheels and 1 without) with no luck. I'm completely new to this, it's my first linux install, so it would be wonderful if someone could point me to a link with easy-to-follow instructions for either my usb or Ps/2 mouse. Also, i could buy a serial mouse if this would be easier to install. If you need more information I would be happy to provide it, so just tell me.

Thanks
Matt

Generally PS2 mice are easier to set up.

Just go here -- the same tool which sets up your monitor can set up your mouse :wink:

Ok, i used xf86cfg, and when i'm in it the mouse works! The problem is when i try to hit exit, i hit ok twice in the diolouge bowes about where to make the changes, then the screen flickers and it goes to a sort of grey color and seems to hang. I can switch to the gui by hitting ctrl-alt-F7 but then when I switch back to the command with ctrl-alt-F2 it's still the same grey color. Then when I reboot (from the gui, ctrl-alt-del,restart) the mouse doesn't work so I go back into xf86cfg and the changes that I made not taken effect.

Thanks
Matt

Update:

When I went to try the steps in the above post further i though I noticed a continuous flicker on the left hand side of the screen. Then i looked more closely and i saw that it was text. So, i played with my monitor settings until the text was readable.

It went on and on about the changing of the files, then it displayed version info, then it showed-

Error: Sigill Caught
SetClientVersion- 0.7
SetMouseSettings- (all of the settings)
SetMouseSettings- device: /dev/mouse
SetMouseSettings- Suceeded
root@linux:-# x connection to: 0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)

(There may be some errors in the above text, as it was extremely hard to read ( I had to copy it to paper and then type it back in to another computer)
What do I do???

Thanks Everyone,
Matt

IMO, first thing first, don't even touch that xf86Cfg program. It is so buggy to me.

For your mouse, just post your /etc/XF86Config-4 file.

Mouse help

Knoppix sometimes turn off mouse support:)
you could also try: gpm -t ps2
And the configuration(speed...etc.) is under peripherals in Control Center(KDE).
some bios-es are not patched against this mouse problem->you could update your bios.
scrolling is possible also just read the XFree HOWTO and add some lines to your Input Device in XF86Config-4.

Update on the Situation

Quote:

just post your /etc/XF86Config-4 file

I cant find this file, how to I access it?

Ok, now for the first time knoppix seems to be recognizing my usb mouse (Microsoft Optical 5 Button ItelliMouse Explorer). I comes up with something like new USB device, then it tells me the make and model of the mouse, then it says that no driver is claiming the device. I can tell that the mouse is on because it's glowing red, how do I configure this mouse???\

your config file is:
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4

--rock

Here are the contents of the XF86Config-4 File (I accesed it by using the knoppix cd if that makes a difference)

Here's one get rid of that config file boot from the CD get a working X config mount the drive and copy the XF86Config-4 to the HD. eg.

Code:

sudo mount /dev/hd?? /mnt/hd?? sudo cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /mnt/hd??/etc/X11/XF86Config-4

And re-boot.

BTW is that the actual file because it does not look like any X config that I have ever seen or did you double post sections.

My XF86Config-4:

Code:

On top of every thing else wrong with the file it is missing a mouse section at the bottom.
