Mouse buttons wont work in Debian

[farmer_jim]

I am currently working on getting my X-Box to run Debian. For those of you not familiar you can check it out here (http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/), basically the xbox is nothing more than a legacy free pc....

I have Ed's Debian installed and running. Everything runs fine including X except my mouse buttons wont register any clicks. The mouse buttons are actually on a keyboard / Trackball combo details here (http://www.globlink.com.tw/keyboard_3new.htm)

My version is USB

My XF86-Config file looks like this..

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

I have tested the keyboard on my windows box and it works fine with no special drivers. But under linux the trackball works but the buttons do not..


Any help would be great. If not getting the buttons to work perhaps a way to bind my keyboard keys to the mouse button functions?

cat -A <mouse device>

and then move mouse. see if it shows up.

click buttons. do they show up? (if they do, the hardest thing to do would be hack the driver source to make it bind correctly.)

past that, got me.

cat - a mouse device shows action when I use the track ball but nothing on the buttons..
