FC1->FC3: USB mouse + mousewheel no longer working

[Gerrit]

Hello,

this morning, I upgraded from Fedora Core 1 to Fedora Core 3.
My mouse is no longer working.

I have a Microsoft 2-button USB Wheel mouse. With 'system-config-mouse',
I selected "Generic - Wheel Mouse (USB)". /etc/sysconfig/mouse reads:

FULLNAME="Generic - Wheel Mouse (USB)"
MOUSETYPE="imps2"
XEMU3="no"
XMOUSETYPE="IMPS/2"
DEVICE=/dev/input/mice

On FC1, it was the same, except for DEVICE=/dev/psaux.

The relevant part of /etc/X11/xorg.conf reads:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Default Layout"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection

Section "Files"

(...)

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse0"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option	    "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option	    "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option	    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option	    "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

# If the normal CorePointer mouse is not a USB mouse then
# this input device can be used in AlwaysCore mode to let you
# also use USB mice at the same time.
    Identifier  "DevInputMice"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option	    "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option	    "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option	    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option	    "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

(...)

In FC1's XF86config, this is exactly the same.

The relevant lines of /var/log/messages on boot are:

Nov 29 16:30:28 topjaklont kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
Nov 29 16:30:28 topjaklont kernel: input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse on isa0060/serio1

I tried several different configurations. None of them worked. I can
start X, I see a mouse cursor, but moving the mouse does not move the
mouse cursor.

Any hints? With XFree86 on FC1, it worked fine. It doesn't now :-(

regards,
Gerrit Holl.

P.S.
I am running the same kernel configuration, only recompiled.

So do I (mine's optical), and it's working fine.

Mine is identical.

I don't have this line...

I don't have this section.

Try system-config-display --reconfig. It might help to boot into
runlevel 3 to do this (append 3 to the kernel... line in grub).

Hope this helps,

James.
