Installed the suggested packages, but it didn't help.
Booted up and logged in.
Started Pidgin and Firefox.
And the mouse froze at once.
Sorry!
Anything I should change in any config file?

Hello ramforth.

OK let's go one step foreword with the Detection of your hardware.
here you have few packages to Detect your hardware mouse /Keyboard.
lomoco
logitech_applet
libany-Moose-perl
Discover
hwdata
hardware-connected
Dconf
Discover-data
mdetect


and please try not to run all the test on all the hardware that you have,
so we can find first the solution to the hardware that you work with now.
Then we can see what's with the other hardware that you have.
This packages will Detect your hardware on the machine,
and you have the option with GUI or command line to configure the Device.

Hello ramforth .

well now you will start to work and EDIT - so open your terminal and see if that help. ;)

Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install imwheel



Code: Select all
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf


Edit the following section:


Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection



to look like this:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection



Code: Select all
gedit ~/.imwheelrc


".*"
None, Up, Alt_L|Left
None, Down, Alt_L|Right

"(null)"
None, Up, Alt_L|Left
None, Down, Alt_L|Right


Code: Select all
sudo gedit /etc/X11/imwheelrc/startup.conf


change here From:

Code: Select all
IMWHEEL_START=0


and replace it with this line:

Code: Select all
IMWHEEL_START=1


Then:

Code: Select all
sudo gedit /etc/X11/Xsession.d/63xmodmap


killall imwheel
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
BINARY=$(which imwheel)
$BINARY -k -p -b "67"


(Alternate) Instead of the above code, use the below replacement for 63xmodmap if your scrollwheel doesn't work after all the steps are completed. This may happen latter on if you later install XGL on a machine with an nvidia graphics card.

Code: Select all
killall imwheel
 xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7"
 BINARY=$(which imwheel)
 $BINARY -k -p -b "67"


now to the last part:

Code: Select all
sudo chmod 777 /etc/X11/Xsession.d/63xmodmap


Restart X:
Log out from gnome
ctrl-alt-backspace
Log into gnome

Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"


Even with the USB version of the mouse?

Hello ramforth.

this is the best solution that I can come with.
It configure your option for all the mouse option.
and about ExplorerPS/2 - do you use wine?playonlinux?wine doors? Explorer ?....
well yes - you will need to give the mouse the function for them too right?

sudo gedit /etc/X11/imwheelrc/startup.conf


This file is empty. I must have missed a step, but I can't figure out what I did wrong. :?
