Configuring XFree86
DebConf configuration
XFree86 can both be configured in Debian (woody+) using DebConf. This is done when the package is installed, but can be re-run any time by executing::
$ dpkg-reconfigure <package-name>
where '<package-name>' is the name of the xserver. Use 'xserver-xfree86' or 'xserver-<type>'. Editing your /etc/X11/ config file is only necessary if you have some special needs or are particularly curious. If you must...
Manual XFree86
["XFree86"] may be configured by editing the file
/etc/X11/XF86Config
If you use XFree 4.x try the command
$ ["XFree86"] -configure
USB mouse
Your ?UniversalSerialBus (USB) mouse may be configured correctly by adding this section to your !XF86Config-4.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mice"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
# Option "SendCoreEvents"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "["ZAxisMapping"]" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSectionIf you only use a USB mouse use the CorePointer option, otherwise use the SendCoreEvents option.
Using XFree86 with GPM
Configure XFree86
In your !["XF86Config"] (-4) file:{{{
Section "?InputDevice"
- Identifier "Generic Mouse" Driver "mouse"
# Option "?CorePointer"
?EndSection
}}} The IntelliMouse driver corresponds to the "repeat_type=ms3" option in gpm.conf, which is the default repeat type in Debian.
On the gpm side of things
To configure gpm use program gpmconfig. For most of the scroll wheel mice I use a type of imps2. That seems to work best.
In a normal setup gpm listens to the port the mouse is connected to and repeats/relays the mouse events to a unix socket /dev/gpmdata. This allows console applications like mc (Midnight Commander) to get mouse events. For X windows to hear the mouse it should be configured to listen to /dev/gpmdata. I've always had the best luck configuring gpm to repeat in raw mode and configure X windows to use whatever protocol the mouse uses. In this setup the mouse type should be set in two places, in gpmconfig and in your X windows configuration. I get the feeling this is a non-standard approach but it's alway given me the least problems.
