    hi

    I've just installed my debian for the first time succesfully.

    The only problem is with mouse.
    Mouse seems to be crazy.
    Could someone give the good parametres for the XF86Config-4 file ? please ?

    I have a PS2 mouse.

    Thanks

    You are already on the right track!

    Try other mouse-options with "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86". For my wireless Logitech mouse I use "Explorer".

    To get into KDE without the crazy mouse, you could try to unplug the mouse during boot and then re-plug it in after the xserver started.

    My mouse also does not work correctly in KDE, the pointer moves up an down when moving the mouse left and right.

    I am using a wireless optical Logitech keyboard/mouse connected via USB. I hope I can fix this with the hints given here (e.g. using explorer). My Mouse-Definition in XF86Config-4 also has a ZAxisMapping (was there by default), maybe that's the fault?

    Ummm... nothing I tried works. :(

    The Keyboard works fine, but the mousepointer still only moves up an down when moving the mouse itself left and right.

    I have a Logitech cordless Mouse and Keyboard bundle, connected via USB.
    dmesg says:

    usb.c: registered new driver usbmouse
    usbmouse.c: v1.6:USB HID Boot Protocol mouse driver
    usb.c: registered new driver usbkbd
    usbkbd.c: :USB HID Boot Protocol keyboard driver
    mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice

    What are the correct entries in /etx/X11/XF86Config-4?

    Kind regards
