Mouse in angstrom-x11-image

Hi everybody!
I'm working with AT91SAM9261EK. Linux kernel is 2.6.30. Rootfs image is build with Openembedded (x11-image). I use CRT monitor (480x640) instead touchscreen. After first boot the mouse pointer was invisible. After some corrections in rootfs it has become visible but USB-mouse still doesn't work:

1)In file /etc/sysconfig/gpelogin instead string

Code:

AUTOLOGIN="false"

I've written

Code:

AUTOLOGIN="true"

2)In file /etc/profile.d/tslib.sh instead string

Code:

TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/touchscreen0

I've written

Code:

TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/mouse0

3)In directory /etc/X11/Xinit.d I've removed the script 30xTs_Calibrate
4) in file /etc/matchbox/session instead string

Code:

exec matchbox-window-manager -use_cursor no $@

I've written

Code:

exec matchbox-window-manager -use_cursor yes $@

Maybe someone has any suggestions how to enable USB-mouse in Angstrom-x11???

Hi, kusmich
I`v just succeed to make a usb mouse start working on 9263 - EK with Angstom. I did the changes you have done plus the following one in
file /etc/X11/Xserver

Code:

"Atmel AT91SAM9261-EK" | "Atmel AT91SAM9263-EK")
                ARGS="$ARGS -mouse tslib -dpi 100 -rgba bgr -screen 320x240" ;;

Changed to

Code:

"Atmel AT91SAM9261-EK" | "Atmel AT91SAM9263-EK")
                ARGS="$ARGS -mouse /dev/input/mice -dpi 100 -rgba bgr -screen 800x600" ;;

Good luck

Thank's, dmrgb, very much! I've already done the same thing (about Xserver). BUT - nothing.
I did the same changes with angstrom-x11-DEMO-image (not built but downloaded from linux4sam.org). And the mouse became to work. But I need mouse to work in MY x11-image built with openembedded. I saw there were many differences between these two images. In DEMO-image there are kernel-module-usbhid and kernel-module-usbmouse. And in my image there aren't such packages. I tried to find them in angstrom feed but I couldn't find them((( Where can I download it???

For now I`m using the demo-image and I don`t know where can be found this packages.
Sorry

So, the problem seems to be solved

I've compiled stable/2009 version of Angstrom for AT91SAM9263 (it also fits to my AT91SAM9261EK). I applyed changes which I described in previous posts AND I have taken the file /usr/bin/Xfbdev from Angstrom-x11-demo-image and replaced the Xfbdev in my image with it. Now the usbmouse works!!! Maybe it's a bug in Xfbdev which comes with this version of OpenEmbedded...

Hi everybody!!!
Yesterday I've solved a problem with Xfbdev in Angstrom 2009/stable branch. The version of kdrive is 1.4.0 and it requires a little different parameters to start xserver than kdrive-1.2.0 which is used in Angstrom-2007.
So, in file /etc/X11/Xserver you need to write:
NOT

Code:

-mouse /dev/input/mouse0
or
-mouse /dev/input/mice

BUT

Code:

-mouse evdev

evdev is a driver name understandable for Xfbdev (it corresponds to the /dev/input/eventN and /dev/input/mouseN, N=0,1...)

And also you need to modify file /etc/profile.d/tslib.sh:
NOT

Code:

TSLIB_DEVICE=/dev/input/touchscreen0
export TSLIB_DEVICE

BUT

Code:

TSLIB_DEVICE=
export TSLIB_DEVICE
