Mouse not working
Hi, I connected a hdmi display to my vcore 3.1-500 and would like to connect a mouse as well. Checking with lsusb I see the mouse is recognized but there is no pointer, no reaction to movement etc.
Do I need to enable mouse control somewhere?
Thx!

ratos is built on raspberry pi os lite - so you will have to install a desktop GUI before you have a mouse
Hmmm... The display shows quite the nice controls - feels touch optimized. If I install the raspberry window manager I guess this will replace the current screen. (or not?) I'l try to install mouse support only.
Ohh you want mouse support for klipperscreen. I would reach out to the klipperscreen developers and ask how to get mouse support - I did a quick google search and didn't find anything
For klipperscreen you can add it to klipperscreen.conf
just create KlipperScreen.conf next to printer.cfg and put in:
The restart KlipperScreen and you should have a cursor.
I just came back from trying that - found that on the klipperscreen page - but I failed to find klipperscreen.conf so I edited the default.conf and it works fine! Thanks guys!
This is a better solution! editing the default.conf results in a "dirty" KlipperScreen - and nobody wants a dirty printer 😉
I added "#~# show_cursor = True" to printer_data/config/KlipperScreen.conf and it worked for me after a restart. The top of this file says do not edit as it is auto generated, but it worked anyway.
you can just put stuff above the
#~# section, it's similar to the klipper config 🙂
