Solaris 10 / xorg / Combo Keyboard+Mouse

Hi All,

I have a Combination Keyboard/Mouse Device that I am unable to configure correctly for Solaris 10.

The PC is a Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 that has a builtin trackpad which automatically tracks /dev/mouse

When i plug in the device, the Keyboard component detects in /dev/usb/hid0

and the mouse detects in /dev/usb/hid1

. The keyboard starts working automatically. The mouse responds when i cat /dev/usb/hid1

I cannot for the life of me though, get Xorg to recognise it.

Section"InputDevice"

identifier"MOUSE1"

Driver"mouse"

Option"Protocol""auto"

#Option"Protocol""IMPS/2"

Option"Device""/dev/usb/hid1"

EndSection

Any thoughts / Ideas? The keyboard manufacturers advice - Install Windows or Linux as it works out of the box.

Hello.

The modification in the X configuration file is the correct idea.

However you must push a special streams module to the mouse device.

I know that this is possible using the Xsun server (under Sparc) but I do not know how this is done for Xorg.

Unlike Windows and Linux Solaris does not multiplex the signals of multiple mice to act like one mouse.

It's better to use Xorg than Xsun.1. Choose Xorg with kdmconfig.2. Reboot.3. Run xorgcfg (it's located in/usr/X11/bin/) or xorgconfig utility (same thing, but with GUI). 4. Configure your keyboard and mouse with this utility.
