Description of problem:
My emachine M5310 laptop has a touchpad for mousing that has a wheel
slider to the right, that acts as a wheel for a wheel mouse. However,
FC3Test1 sees the slider part as part of the rest of the touchpad, so
I don't get the wheel mouse ... I'm trying to find system-config-mouse
... hmmm, I have it installed but it's not available under main menu
-> System Settings, which it should be. Anyway, it's detecting a 3
Button Mouse (PS/2) when it should be finding a Wheel Mouse (PS/2).
Changing this over manually using system-config-mouse doesn't fix the
problem, it still doesn't see the "wheel" part.

I recall this working in FC1 so I know it's possible. :)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install FC3Test1 on laptop
2. No wheel mouse functionality
3. Open terminal window
4. Type system-config-mouse
5. Select Wheel Mouse (PS/2)
6. Add 3 button emulation
7. Save settings.
8. Still no wheel mouse
9. Close X down to runlevel 3
10. Type startx
11. Still no wheel mouse.
    

Actual Results:  No wheel mouse functionality.

Expected Results:  Wheel mouse functionality.

This is a 2.4/2.6 change in the input layer, I imagine it's not a
"real" wheel mouse but uses synaptics protocol on the wheel.

For completeness can you please attach the output of cat
/proc/bus/input /devices

The synaptics driver is going to be put in to FC3.  In addition you
can try booting with psmouse.proto=imps, that should give you tap
click at least.

My apologies for taking a while on this, cat /proc/bus/input/devices
gives:

will now try your booting recommendation

Comment 3 Dee-Ann LeBlanc 2004-09-14 22:27:23 UTC
You are correct, I now have tap-click with that kernel option, thanks. :)

Should work with what's there now.
