mouse not working with vesa graphik driver

Hi there,

I have recently installed both Suse 11.0 and 11.1 on a not quite new machine with onboard graphikcard (VIA S3 Unichrome Pro K8M800).

once I managed to get the graphikcard to work by using the vesa driver, I now have the mouse only working in failsafe mode.

here the xorg.config:

Section “Module”

This loads the DBE extension module.

Load        "dbe"  	# Double buffer extension

This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables

initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.

SubSection  "extmod"
  Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection

This loads the font modules

Load “type1”

Load        "freetype"

Load “xtt”

This loads the GLX module

Load “glx”

This loads the DRI module

Load “dri”

Files section. This allows default font and rgb paths to be set

**********************************************************************

Section “Files”

The location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the

file minus the extension (like “.txt” or “.db”). There is normally

no need to change the default.

RgbPath “/usr/share/X11/rgb”

Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (which are concatenated together),

as well as specifying multiple comma-separated entries in one FontPath

command (or a combination of both methods)

FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled"

FontPath “/usr/share/fonts/TTF/”

FontPath “/usr/share/fonts/OTF”

Server flags section.

**********************************************************************

Section “ServerFlags”

Uncomment this to cause a core dump at the spot where a signal is

received. This may leave the console in an unusable state, but may

provide a better stack trace in the core dump to aid in debugging

Option “NoTrapSignals”

Uncomment this to disable the <Ctrl><Alt><Fn> VT switch sequence

(where n is 1 through 12). This allows clients to receive these key

events.

Option “DontVTSwitch”

Uncomment this to disable the <Ctrl><Alt><BS> server abort sequence

This allows clients to receive this key event.

Option “DontZap”

Uncomment this to disable the <Ctrl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> mode switching

sequences. This allows clients to receive these key events.

Option “Dont Zoom”

Uncomment this to disable tuning with the xvidtune client. With

it the client can still run and fetch card and monitor attributes,

but it will not be allowed to change them. If it tries it will

receive a protocol error.

Option “DisableVidModeExtension”

Uncomment this to enable the use of a non-local xvidtune client.

Option “AllowNonLocalXvidtune”

Uncomment this to disable dynamically modifying the input device

(mouse and keyboard) settings.

Option “DisableModInDev”

Uncomment this to enable the use of a non-local client to

change the keyboard or mouse settings (currently only xset).

Option “AllowNonLocalModInDev”

Core keyboard’s InputDevice section

**********************************************************************

Section “InputDevice”

Identifier	"Keyboard1"
Driver	"kbd"

Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"

Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))

Option “Xleds” “1 2 3”

Option “LeftAlt” “Meta”

Option “RightAlt” “ModeShift”

To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.

keyboard, you will probably want to use:

Option “XkbModel” “pc105”

If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:

Option “XkbModel” “microsoft”

Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.

For example, a german layout can be obtained with:

Option “XkbLayout” “de”

or:

Option “XkbLayout” “de”

Option “XkbVariant” “nodeadkeys”

If you’d like to switch the positions of your capslock and

control keys, use:

Option “XkbOptions” “ctrl:swapcaps”

These are the default XKB settings for Xorg

Option “XkbRules” “xorg”

Option “XkbModel” “pc105”

Option “XkbLayout” “us”

Option “XkbVariant” “”

Option “XkbOptions” “”

Option “XkbDisable”

Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In

almost every case these lines should be omitted.

Option “BaudRate” “9600”

Option “SampleRate” “150”

Mouse wheel mapping. Default is to map vertical wheel to buttons 4 & 5,

horizontal wheel to buttons 6 & 7. Change if your mouse has more than

3 buttons and you need to map the wheel to different button ids to avoid

conflicts.

Option "ZAxisMapping"   "4 5 6 7"

Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button mice

Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

Option "Emulate3Buttons"

Option “Emulate3Timeout” “50”

ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

Option “ChordMiddle”

Graphics device section

**********************************************************************

Any number of graphics device sections may be present

Standard VGA Device:

Section “Device”

VendorName “Unknown”
BoardName “Unknown”

The chipset line is optional in most cases. It can be used to override

the driver’s chipset detection, and should not normally be specified.

Chipset “generic”

The Driver line must be present. When using run-time loadable driver

modules, this line instructs the server to load the specified driver

module. Even when not using loadable driver modules, this line

indicates which driver should interpret the information in this section.

Driver     "vga"

The BusID line is used to specify which of possibly multiple devices

this section is intended for. When this line isn’t present, a device

section can only match up with the primary video device. For PCI

devices a line like the following could be used. This line should not

normally be included unless there is more than one video device

intalled.

BusID “PCI:0:10:0”

VideoRam 256

Clocks 25.2 28.3

may be specified from the X server command line with the “-screen”

option.

ServerLayout sections.

**********************************************************************

Any number of ServerLayout sections may be present. Each describes

the way multiple screens are organised. A specific ServerLayout

section may be specified from the X server command line with the

“-layout” option. In the absence of this, the first section is used.

When now ServerLayout section is present, the first Screen section

is used alone.

Section “ServerLayout”

The Identifier line must be present

Identifier  "Simple Layout"

Each Screen line specifies a Screen section name, and optionally

the relative position of other screens. The four names after

primary screen name are the screens to the top, bottom, left and right

of the primary screen. In this example, screen 2 is located to the

right of screen 1.

Screen "Screen 1"

Each InputDevice line specifies an InputDevice section name and

optionally some options to specify the way the device is to be

used. Those options include “CorePointer”, “CoreKeyboard” and

“SendCoreEvents”.
