Anyone using Ubuntu and an optical mouse? I've installed Ubuntu on more than one machine and can't get an optical mouse to work. The mouse lights up but no on-screen movement. Change to a rollerball mouse and it works perfectly. Not a big deal, but I do prefer an optical mouse. Any ideas about fixing this ?

Nuxology,

what does your Mouse portion of your Xorg.conf file look like? it should look somthing 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"
EndSection

if you want post your Xorg.config file here I'll look at it for you to get into the Xorg file just type

To access it open a terminal and type
gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Copy and paste it into a reply
