Ubuntu :: Mouse Not Available Outside Of X / Get That?
Aug 18, 2010
I have the feeling this is something simple that I just don't know how to do. Any help is appreciated...
I have a machine with two mice attached, one via USB and one via PS/2. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 (yes, I know it's old). Inside gdm, everything works fine, but the purpose of the machine (advmame) is to run it outside of X.
Once I shut down gdm, neither mouse is available. There is a "mouse testing" program that's bundled with advmame (advm), which gives me a "no mouse found" error. How do I get the mice to be available in just a console?

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my HP Pavilion a320n computer with a ps2 mouse and the mouse pointer points with the bottom of the mouse and not the upper tip of the point. It does the same thing with Ubuntu 10.04.1. In Windows 7 and XP the mouse is normal. I don't know how I could adjust it or is this just a bug in the OS?

I have custom built Linux kernel (2.6.31) and also xorg. xorg is using xserver 1.7.3 . I have an application which simulates the mouse and sends mouse move events. When I switch the device on, the system boots and Xorg comes up, I can see X cursor on the system. When I start sending mouse move events from the application, the cursor do not move. If I attach mouse to the device and then move the mouse, from this point onwards the mouse events get detected from the simulation application. I have checked the dmesg log as follows
BEFORE MOUSE CONNECTED.
.....
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3 FS on hdb4, internal journal
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with writeback data mode.
[code]....

I just upgraded to FC14 (64) from FC13 (32) and the mouse middle button (simultaneous left+right button) paste function has stopped working. I tested it with 3 makes/models of different mice and trackballs. For some reason (left+right) mouse returns the same code as the single right-button ('xev' value = 3). This worked in all previous FC and RH distros I've used in the past. Did a default setting get zonked somewhere? System: Toshiba laptop w/ USB mouse.

Biggest one that make game unplayable is mouse. Mouse isn't moving smooth it jumps around. I cannot shoot anything. So i asked for help, and everybody just say install windows. And where is fun in that. If people when ever run into problem with some software on linux just install windows. Linux would never go forward. I m not some great gamer, but i would like to be able to play this game. Probably somebody run into same problem. I sow that people talk about something like dis on WOW and wine but simptoms doesn't seem same to me.

I'm running FC12 and GNOME.If I move the physical mouse about one inch, the mouse pointer moves across the entire screen.That's way too fast and way to sensitive.I prefer the mouse pointer to move far less distance on the screen when the physical mouse is moved.
From System->Preferences->Mouse, I set the various mouse Pointer Speed acceleration and Sensitivity to Slow, Fast, Low, High, and and I couldn't get it any better. At the least sensitive settings. if I move the physical mouse one inch, the mouse pointer moves across the entire screen.How can make the mouse pointer less sensitive to mouse movements?

Iv'e got an issue with mouse speed, on boot the mouse is to fast, so I found that the command
Quote:
slows it down the way I need. But now, each boot I need to run it again. Is there a place where I can put it so it runs every time X starts? Also, googling a bit I found that udev rules can be used instead, but I don't know how to write it as a rule.

I had been running "Etch" and upgraded to "Lenny". Now my mouse is NOT tracking correctly. When I move the mouse and then press and release the 'ctrl' key to show where the mouse pointer is the circle indicators are not where the pointer is. I therefore cannot make any selections from menus as 'lenny' thinks the mouse is somewhere other than where the pointer is. Also are there keyboard hot keys that i can use to access the menus?

just want to report "Right Mouse Click Freeze" on Ubuntu 10.10. When I click on anything with my right mouse button to open options menu it freezes and does not open menu. Sometimes when I shake my mouse left/right a bit it opens that menu, but this does not work always. It seems like xserver issue, but I'm not sure since I'm not expert in linux yet. It's very annoying issue that I would like to resolve asap.
My System Specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Western Digital 250 GB Hard Drive
Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit (Kernel Linux 2.6.35-22)
(Used Desktop Install CD)

Even with all the mouse sensitivity and acceleration settings at the lowest my mouse is still very fast.
I tried googling this but I didn't really understand the guides much and the ones I did understand were from years ago.

I'd like to be able to set the middle-mouse button on a standard Microsoft 3-button optical wheel mouse. I can change functions by modifying the middle value (x) in this command:xinput set-button-map 10 1 x 3How can I configure the button to, e.g., autoscroll a la Windows or something more uncommon like Alt-F4?

I have a Hp pavillion dv5 (laptop) running Ubuntu 10.04 with all of the updates. When i start it up i can move around the mouse just fine. As soon as I hit enter to log in, the mousepad on my laptop stops working completely. The mousepad doesnt work nor do the buttons. However, if I plug in a USB mouse the USB mouse works fine, but the mousepad doesn't.

I am a quite new Linux user (been using Ubuntu 9.04 for a while now). A few days ago I decieded to try Linux Mint 9 (Gnome Edition) instead of Ubuntu 9.04. I installed it and everything works fine except from that the system or mouse/keyboard lags. The lag occurs when the hd is working (my guess). This problem did not exist in Ubuntu 9.04 and I am using the exact same hardware.
Hardware: MSI K8NGM2-IL, AMD 3500+ (singel core), 2Gb ram, 250Gb SATA Hd, DVD-Rw (IDE), Microsoft Habu mouse (USB)

Ubuntu 10.01 / Gnome / I assume pulseaudio Seems my sound works fine except when I mouse over a file there's no sound. Seems there's some activity involved, even a music note emblem pops up, but again, no sound. I've got gmusicbrowser installed if that means anything.

when I sat down at the computer, the mouse cursor continually moves down at a constant rate. It jumps a certain distance regularly until it reaches the bottom of the screen. The mouse works generally. It moves around as I move the mouse,but there is the constant moving down, so it's pretty much unusable.I clicked all the mouse buttons, restarted the mouse.

I have the same problem. Any activity such as burning a disk or downloading a file if the mouse doesn't move the screen freezes and the activity stops maybe I should go back to 10.04 as it seemed to be more stable? Anyone else having the same bug?

I have a Foxconn with Intel 330 processor, 1 gig RAM, and 80 gig hard drive. Unit will freeze when using the mouse at infrequent intervals. I had Edubuntu 8.10 installed and have now installed 10-10 Ubuntu to rule out software issues. During the new install, the video would stop after a period of time, and could return to operation by moving the mouse. The same mouse,keyboard, and monitor are being used on three other computer boxes using a KVM switch. The problem is unique to this Foxconn box. An identical Foxconn box runs normal and is set up as a server
After the unit freezes, I can use the alt-ctr-sysrq RES to eliminate the GUI. This tells me that the Linux system is still running.
What segment of the system log should I be examining? Is this an IRQ issue?

I have recently installed Ubuntu on my desktop. Whenever I log in after approx. 2 minutes the keyboard or mouse (or sometimes both) freezes. The mouse and keyboard are connected via USB and not p2/p. rebooting every 2 min in order to use the OS is not exactly convenient

After updating to 11.04, I have been experiencing several problems. One of the major ones is my USB mouse constantly freezes, usually shortly after boot. The computer itself is not frozen, so I can use the keyboard to close applications and restart. Restarting my computer will sometimes solve the problem, but not always. It is so frustrating.
I disabled ACPI, and although that stopped the mouse from freezing, I was uncomfortable with it being disabled, mainly because my computer never shut off properly, it would simply hang.

You have probably seen the TV shows and films with the law enforcement agency, or the team at "Leverage" have a large screen with other side screens.
I don't have a holographic display, or even a 60" touchscreen, but I do have a TV, and a couple of computers running 10.10 and 11.04.
What I would like to do, using a mouse instead of a touchscreen, is "push" photos, videos, or dossiers on enemy agents to another screen or phone.
I would imagine it to be something along the lines of hot zones on the desktop, so that if I flick an item to, say, the right of the screen, it will leave my desktop and pop up on the desktop of the (networked, but separate and different) computer to my right, and if I drag / flick an item to the top centre it will Bluetooth it to my phone (which I'll set up to automatically accept any files from "my.desktop.homelan".
I had something a little similar with, I think, Compiz, in that if I flicked an item to the right it would dump it onto virtual desktop 2 (of four horizontal ones).
What search terms would I use in Google or Ubuntu Help to get me started? I can compile, but I'd rather not, as I'm not very good at it, and I can edit .cfg files as long as there are plain English descriptors ("Enable_Feature_Foo=1" "Fave_Place=/home/Me/fave/" etc).

My mouse flickers in and out when I move it and a small pix elated square surrounds it. I can still click and highlight and preform mouse actions. I was playing about in the Appearance settings and I had come over to the mouse pad of the custom theme window. I tried changing the mouse and it only changed some icons of the mouse. To make it work and show all the new icons for the cursor, i used this command:
Code:
sudo gedit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
I then changed "Inherits=DMZ-White" to "Inherits=DMZ-Black". I logged out and back in and that's when my problem started. It shows the new mouse but i have that glitchy square and it flickers. I've tried switching back but it didn't change anything.

I've wrote a virtual mouse driver,and a new file /dev/input/event3 was created. My linux distribution is Ubuntu 10.10.Now I wana make this device to be mouse.How to make the configuration? Someone told me to configure file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. But this file doesn't exist. Should I create a new one and edit it? If yes, what the content should it have?What's more,I found some configure files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/like "50-vmmouse.conf" (I'm using a VMware). Should I add a new configure file in this directory?
