again mouse configuration in xorg.conf (solved)

[nadir]

i simply copied my xorg.conf from another poster and had configured the mouse for a while as synaptic. well, it did work.
i got an usb-mouse.
today i searched a bit and did replace the following:

Code: Select all

#Section "InputDevice"
#       Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
#       Driver          "synaptics"
#       Option          "SHMConfig"     "true"
#EndSection

with this

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Mouse0"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

but X didnt work no more. i checked the error-log and had to comment out the following line:

Code: Select all

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "Default Layout"
        Screen          "Default Screen"        0       0
        InputDevice     "Generic Keyboard"
#       InputDevice     "Configured Mouse"    # this one gave me the trouble
        Option          "AIGLX" "true"
EndSection

It now does work, but it did also work with the synaptic entry...
Is the configuration correct now? for me its all outer-space-language.
thanks in advance

My current xorg.conf doens't have anything for kb or mouse, but my old xorg.conf had:

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier   "Keyboard 0"
   Driver      "kbd"
   Option      "CoreKeyboard"
   Option      "XkbRules"      "xorg"
   Option      "XkbModel"      "pc105"
   Option      "XkbLayout"      "us"
   Option      "XkbOptions"      "altwin:super_win"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier   "USB Optical Mouse 0"
   Driver      "mouse"
   Option      "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"
   Option      "Protocol"      "Auto"
   Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
   Option      "CorePointer"
EndSection

If you are running testing or sid with the newer Xorg you probably don't need anything for kb/mouse since hal handles those things now.

i use both: Lenny and Sid, so an xorg.conf which i could simply copy over would be nice.
as said the mouse works anyway, but it bugs me a bit that it aint configured correct.

should i simply remove the mouse-line from "ServerLayout"?, all i tried so far (to remove the synaptic config) gave me a black screen.

This is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf on Lenny

thanks for that too.
i will try to be more clear:
above i got a new entry for the mouse in /etc/X11/xorg.conf which didnt work.

after i deleted the line:

Code: Select all

#       InputDevice     "Configured Mouse"

from the Section "Server Layout" it did work.

Is it correct that way?
Q: answer "yes or no"?
A: yes or no!

The original called it "Configured Mouse" , your replacement called it "Mouse0"
if you change "Mouse0" to "Configured Mouse" ...
then the last thing # InputDevice "Configured Mouse" # this one gave me the trouble
will probably work without the rem ( # ) you added.
