What kind of mouse is it?

What driver name, exactly, did you set it to in your XF86Config file?

Are you using GPM?

Does pgrep gpm output any numbers?

Are there any cats in your house?

What port does your mouse plug in to on the back of your computer?

> Maybe my video card (ati 9600pro) driver?

I doubt it, but it's certainly a possibility. I understand ATi started
playing the binary consolidated driver game, like nVidia does. Are
those the drivers you're using, or are ya using default drivers that
came with Slackware?

I really know nothing about ATi drivers... and very little about their
cards, although I think the 9600pro is a decent card.

perhaps the mouse is dirty inside. Take it apart and clean it.

> What kind of mouse is it?

Probably a pgp mouse.

Perhaps you can explain to us all why you burdened us with pgp
silliness when it is clear that this posting did not require it?

The clear majority of readers in this group feel that using pgp
when it is unwarranted is an abuse of usenet and its members. We
ask that you restrict your use of pgp to postings that actually
require it.

Thanks for your time.

cordially, as always,

A normal weel mouse (fujitsu-siemens), I tryed also an IBM mouse, but
the problem still exist.

Generic ps2 weel mouse (but I tryed also other, like logitech ecc.)

???

I have to try (I'm in Win now, sigh but the mouse meke me feel bad)

No just two dog.

Ps2

I used the utility come with the driver for build the XF86config-4

I know that I have posted few arguments to try to resolve my problem,
ask me what you need to know.

Thanks

Ok, it probably just needs the regular PS/2 protocol setting... although
it may use IMPS/2....

So in your XF86Config file, it says:

Option "Protocol" "Generic ps2 wheel mouse"

??

What Protocol, *exactly* did you set it to?

I'd try "PS/2" and "ImPS/2" to see if either of those work.

It's hard to troubleshoot things when you aren't in the right OS... :-)

Well, Dogs can be scarey to mice, too. Maybe the little mouse is scared
of the dogs? :-)

Or maybe the dogs are terrorizing your mouse, making him jump in little
steps?

Well, that's somewhat useless - Slackware doesn't use an XF86Config-4
file. Notice, it's XF86Config, not XF86config. Things are
case-sensative in Linux.

Slackware uses /etc/X11/XF86Config for it's X server configuration. The
XF86Config-4 file is used in distros where the designers thought people
might be running both XFree86 3.3.x and XFree86 4.x.x at the same time,
as far as I can tell. Otherwise, the -4 appended to the name makes no
sense at all.

If you have some webspace somewhere, post your XF86Config file and post
a link to it here so we can look at it to get a better feel of where
some problems may be. If you don't have webspace, and want to post the
thing here, *do not* include the comments or whitespace.

I have a feeling we're looking at a b0rk3d mouse section, and/or GPM and
X fighting over the PS/2 port. The Protocol and Device lines from your
Mouse config section of XF86Config as well as if you're running GPM
(pgrep gpm will give numbers if you are) should better help us figure it
out.

There ya go. That's probably the cause of your problems - GPM is trying
to use the mouse at the same time X is. Do you use the mouse at the
console? If not, do a:

chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm
kill `pgrep gpm`
sleep 3
kill -9 `pgrep gpm`

(all as root, of course)

If you do use the mouse at the console, set GPM up as a repeater and
then set your XF86Config file to utilize that repeater.

My X use the file XF86Config-4 (and not the XF86Config), I tryed to
modify the XF86Config-4 (changing the ImPS/2 in PS/2), the problem
persist but the weel doesen't work. If I change that line in XF86Config
nothing changing.

My XF86Config-4 file:

"Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

EndSection

And my XF86Config:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

Option "Emulate3Buttons"

EndSection

>>>Does pgrep gpm output any numbers?

As AthlonRob told me, I done a "chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm" and now the
"pgrep gpm" output is none, but the problem persist.

Before I used KDE, now I feel better with Gnome. I set the speed motion
in the mouse preferencies at maximum but it isn't enough (1600*1280
screen resolution).

But the worst problem is the moviment, is not linear, if I move slowly
the mouse, diagonal, it go by step.

Maybe it's just the usual behaviour, and you will have to increase the
resolution:
Option "Resolution" "N"
in the mouse section of your XF86Config. (see README.mouse). N is in
counts/inch (unfortunately not in SI units).

Have a nice day
