OA on Linux: mouse problem with evdev

« on: April 26, 2008, 10:47:37 AM »

Hi, yesterday changed xorg.conf to make side mouse buttons working, but with this config mouse not working in OA (mouse cursor jumps from one place to other without reason)

diff:

Code:

27,31c27,30
< 	Identifier	"MX500"
< 	Driver		"evdev"
< 	Option		"Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-B16_b_02_USB-PS.2_Optical_Mouse-event-mouse"
---
> 	Identifier	"Configured Mouse"
> 	Driver		"mouse"
> 	Option		"CorePointer"
53d51
< 	InputDevice	"MX500" "SendCoreEvents"

I assume the mouse is working fine in everything apart from openarena?

If it is any help to you I use Debian Lenny amd64, and a Logitech G5 works fine with evdev.

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "G5 Mouse"
	Driver      "evdev"
	Option	    "CorePointer"
	Option	    "Name" "Logitech USB Gaming Mouse"
	Option	    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
	Option	    "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
EndSection

I have reversed the tilt buttons with xmodmap.

Code:

pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 7 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

I have no changes from default mouse settings in openarena's autoexec.cfg, apart from sensitivity.

These pages useful setting up a Logitech G5 and a MX518.
