Intellimouse Optical - 2nd try

[Nezmin2]

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf file contains:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Name" "Intellimouse Optical"
Option "Resolution" "400"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ButtonNumber" "7"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 8 9 10 11"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

and still does not work. I had it working perfectly but after wiping my hard drive and starting over with a fresh OS (FC6) now I can't get it to work.

Any ideas? :confused:

Hello:
I think it's related to evdev ? No guarantees... :)
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
and look for the eventX that relates to your mouse and

then change or comment out:
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
to
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
and
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
to
Option "Device" "/dev/input/eventX"

Also, you may want to do a search of the forum for evdev .

After doing some research over the net I''ve found this: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Advanced_Mouse/Individual_Configurations . If you need to use xmodmap command just add a line in file "/etc/X11/Xmodmap".
Example:
-command to issue:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 7 6"

-line to put in "/etc/X11/Xmodmap":
pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 7 6

Don't forget to restart X server for the changes to take effect, Ctrl+Alt+F11.

It worked for my A4Tech WOP-35 mouse.

:D QUOTE from earlier posting that I appreciate ***NOTE: "I do NOT mess around with the xmodmap file since I do the button mapping in the xorg.conf file. It's much nicer when things are all in ONE place rather than having them scattered all over hell and gone."
