Maybe anyony is interesseted in this:
After booting the NetBSD Live! system to the kdm login window, the mouse
pointer doesn't move. My system is a notebook with a Redmond IntelliMouse
Optical USB attached
The reason: the mouse device is almost correct.
It has to be: /dev/wsmouse (instead of /dev/wsmouse0)
Here the steps to correct it (online):
1. login to root/root
2. open an xterm
with <Alt><F2> --> Befehl*): xterm
( *) german KDE)
3. # vi /etc/X11/XF86Config
search for: wsmouse0
this gets you to: Section "InputDevice" / Identifier "Mouse0"
change: /dev/wsmouse0 to /dev/wsmouse
to get the mouse wheel working insert this line directly
after the corrected line:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
save the file
IMHO this problem is caused by the KNOPPIX utility
mkxf86config, which is used to build the XF86Config
file on the fly.
4. Logoff
<Strg><Alt><Entf> <-- german Keyboard.
<Entf> key in the middle! block
Window: "Sitzung beenden für root"
Use option: "Als anderer Benutzer anmelden"
OK-Button
5. at KDM login window:
<Alt><M> for Button "Menu"
Option "Restart X Server Alt-E"
after restart of Xserver the "intelligent" mouse works
including the mouse wheel.
Best regards. / Hilmar.
