    Hi Zeta --

    The xorg.conf file is only used with X11 (X.org) and not XVesa, the default system used by SliTaz. You might have luck installing xorg from the command-line, as discussed in various posts and tutorials, then researching various mouse configs. within Xorg.

    it will works this on the current setup (xvesa) ?

    /dev/tty0

    if not, how can install the xorg.. i really search and read many post but not one detailed.
    (can i search xorg in the gui manager pacacker and install any xorg package available?)

    There is a page on the handbook manual actually, it's the first link when you Google search SLiTaz XOrg:

    http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/handbook/x-window.html

    I don't think I uninstalled XVesa, either, but I might be wrong.

    Hi,

    Xvesa have some options defined in /etc/slim.conf, try to modify mouse config:

    -mouse mouse,5,/dev/input/mice

    That said Xvesa will be dropped in a few time (no more maintained upstream) and Xorg will be preinstalled, autoconfigured at boot and use by default on SliTaz. We already build some LiveCD with Xorg if you want to try:

    As a side note, do you think XVesa will be dropped for SLiTaz 3? To be honest, I hope so!

    I found this post on another site:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/9068
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I solve the problem. I change this (/etc/X11/xorg.org):

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Configured Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "CorePointer"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
    EndSection

    for this:

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Configured Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
    Option "Protocol" "Microsoft"
    EndSection

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Hope it helps
