Title: Usb Mouse
Post by: jpmatrix on October 09, 2007, 05:45:36 pm

looking for a way to have right-click working , i decided to plug my usb mouse....and it seems to work out of the box   but...
i can hardly move the cursor where i want because it seems they are some curious unwanted movements.....
anyone have tried?

 Hi,have you solved the 'rotated' mouse axes? I used a Logitech trackball and it worked well, placed sideways. Buttons worked fine.

I'm busy installing Debian on a 'spare' laptop, updating to lenny as I type,  in the hopes of getting my brain into debian mode.I might then be able to crack the other method of install and possibly try and get my 860 titchified!

Turn mouse 90-degrees to the left (counter-clockwise), then try to move the pointer.  It should now work fine.  But then, of course, the mouse is not right for your hand.  Scrolling the wheel will also not work, but all three buttons will.
