ps2 mouse does not work

Using QNX 6.1.0 on a X86 machine

My mouse, a ps2 Logitec cordless wheel mouse, causes the following problem:

  • the system boots without problem,
  • the graphical UI appears,
  • the mouse cursor stays in the upper left corner and can not be moved
  • there is short disk access every second

I can use the keyboard (Logitec cordless also) without problem. The disk
access stops either:

  • after a long time. If I then move the mouse, the cursor moves maybe 2
    pixels and the disk access begins again and continues for a long time etc.
  • when I pull out the mouse connector of the receiver unit

If I use a serial mouse on the COM-port, there is no problem (but I do want
to use the cordless mouse, as in Windows).

In the online docs I read about a similar problem:

  • uncheck ‘enable wheel mouse’ in the mouse configuration. This does not
    work for me
  • set the bios setting ‘USB Legacy support’ to off. I can not find this in
    my bios settings. Or is this the same as ‘disable USB’? This would be
    unacceptable to me

Any suggestions?

I have similar problems with standard PS/2 mice with multiple computers.
Neither wireless or Logitech. One of them is a Microsoft IntelliMouse.
Is there a working fix for this?

Which version of QNX RTOS and input driver are you using? How does your
problem look like? It is difficult to answer you from your very general
description.

Upgrading from 6.0 to 6.1, Windows installation.

  • the system boots without problem,
  • the graphical UI appears,
  • the mouse cursor stays in the upper left corner and can not be moved

The fix to unplug and replug the mouse worked.

I encountered another new error with the TNT graphics driver dumping
core leaving only VGA video mode.

Thanks / Tom

The fixed devi-hirun at developers corner seemed to solve the
input problem. Now there’s just the TNT2 board. Should I run
pci or something else?

Hi Tomas,

What is the problem with the TNT2?

Thanks

Erick.

Hi,

After upgrading from 6.0 to 6.1 I seem to have the same problem as
Trevor Miranda described in a posting to this group 2001-08-29, i.e.:

running crttrap trap gives someting like the first line of graphics-traplist followed by
Memory fault (core dumped)
then the second line appears and the system hangs and I have to press the reboot button

I also have a PIII 500MHz machine with a TNT2 M64 32MB graphics adapter.

I installed the pci-bios in the developers corner, but still get the same
fault.

Shall I also run the grafxscript.rtp script?

Thanks / Tom

Hi Tomas,

What is your system setup? Motherboard, other cards…

Thanks

Erick.

Hi Tom,

On

http://www.geocities.com/erickmuis/files/hardware_scripts/nto/

There is a .tgz file with a bunch of hardware scripts in it.

Please download this file, extract the scripts

gunzip nto_scripts.tgz
tar -xvf nto_scripts.tar

Then as the root user run the grafx script and send us the
output.

Thanks!

Erick.
