[I'm hoping this is a reasonably optimal list for the query; redirection
cheerfully accpted. dhw]
A few days ago, I was the recipient of a colleague's hand-me-down NEC
Versa 6030X. He had an older flavor of FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT on it, and a
few other things that (he said) were broken in various ways.
So yesterday (08 March, 2000), I FTPed the FreeBSD 4.0-RC per Jordan's
message announcing same. (Over the weekend, I had tried the -RC from 14
February, with similar results, FWIW.) The X that I'm using was the
3.3.6 for FreeBSD 3.x binaries from ftp.freebsd.org; I have yet to
customize the kernel at all, so it's using the GENERIC one.
This install was fresh: I newfs'd /, /usr, & /var.
Things basically work OK... except that I'm having some trouble with the
mouse: except for the action of tapping the touchpad, it only has 2
buttons, and I can't seem to get the "chord" operation to work.
The mouse is identified (in dmesg.boot) as:
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: model GlidePoint, device ID 0
(I'll copy the full dmesg.boot below my .sig, in case it's of interest
or use.)
When it came time to configure X, I elected to set up moused first.
Once that is done, and I supply the "-3" flag to moused, the (2) buttons
work rather as expected with syscons (outside of the X environment):
the left button is treated as "button 1", the right button is treated as
"button 3", and the combination is treated as "button 2". Using the
touchpad causes the mouse to move in the expected ways.
However, when I run XF86Setup, select the "Mouse" configuration (to test
the buttons), only buttons 1 & 3 are recognized.
If I select the "Emulate3Buttons" option at this point (and "apply" the
change), X behaves as if button 1 is continuously being cycled: passing
over any button-like widget with the mouse causes said widget's state to
switch. Further, pressing the left button causes the mouse image's button
1 do go dark, as expected, and pressing both mouse buttons causes the
image's button 2 to go dark, but pressing just the right button causes no
action that I can see -- there's no apparent way to select button 3.
(Over the weekend, when I still had the 14 Feb -RC installed, I observed
similar phenomena. I also experimented a little with other flags to
moused, such as "-m 1=4", after reading the moused man page's discussion
about touchpads and "button 4" events. Those seemed to work pretty much
as advertised, though I couldn't find a configuration that felt very
comfortable or "natural" -- I've been using normal 3-button mice since
about '88 or so, when I got my first Sun 3/60. Perhaps there's something
to tweak as far as timing or sensitivity, but if so, I managed to fail to
recognize what it was, so clues would be welcomed.)
The difference in behavior between using the mouse within and outside of
X is a bit perplexing; there's evidently something I'm failing to grasp
at work here.
Clues, pointers, and/or redirection are all welcomed.
/var/run/dmesg.boot copied below my .sig, as promised above.
Thanks,
david
