Troubleshooting Mouse Problems
The following sections discuss troubleshooting mouse hardware or software
issues.
Local USB Mouse and Linux
If you are running Linux on your server and the local mouse is USB, your mouse
will not work in Remote Console. To correct this issue, configure the system to
use two mice. Add the following lines to your XF86Config file:
•
•
In the ServerLayout section, add the following:
InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
For example:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
In the InputDevice section, add the following:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
After updating the configuration file, you have two InputDevice sections. Each
section lists information for the mouse. Adjust the identifier to match the label
you used in the ServerLayout section.
