D Setting Up Your Mouse from the Ubuntu Installation Guide by OnWorks

Bỏ để qua phần nội dung

The mouse can be used in both the Linux console (with gpm) and the X window environment. Normally, this is a simple matter of installing gpm and the X server itself. Both should be configured to use / dev / input / mouse as the mouse device. The correct mouse protocol is named exps2 in gpm, and ExplorerPS/2 in X. The respective configuration files are /etc/gpm.conf và

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Certain kernel modules must be loaded in order for your mouse to work. In most cases the correct modules are autodetected, but not always for old-style serial and bus mice1, which are quite rare except on very old computers. Summary of Linux kernel modules needed for different mouse types:

Mô-đun	Mô tả
psmouse	PS/2 mice (should be autodetected)
usb giấu	USB mice (should be autodetected)
sermouse	Most serial mice
logibm	Bus mouse connected to Logitech adapter card
inport	Bus mouse connected to ATI or Microsoft InPort card

To load a mouse driver module, you can use the modconf command (from the package with the same name) and look in the category kernel/drivers/input/mouse.
