sarge testing->stable and USB mouse issue
Hi all - it seems a lot of people are having trouble with their mice
after the sarge move from testing to stable. I am also having a problem
which seems to be different from those who have already posted on d-u
and I can't find any relevant bugs against xserver-xfree86.
When I get into work in the morning, my mouse does not appear to be
working. Sometimes I have an X session open which I was using the
previous day, mouse and all; other times I am logging in afresh from
gdm. I cannot find any messages hinting at the cause in /var/log/* or
dmesg. Removing the mouse and plugging it in again causes the hotplug
system to register the mouse afresh:
usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 5
usb 4-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech Optical USB Mouse] on
usb-0000:00:1d.3-2
X is configured to use /dev/input/mice. I am using a 2.6.11 kernel.
When I come in tomorrow, assuming my mouse isn't working in the morning,
I will confirm
a) that the no-mouse-in-X problem is in fact no-events-from-mouse by
hexdumping /dev/input/m*
b) that there is a mouse entry (still) in the /proc/bus/usb listings
(since the dmesg output indicates that a disconnect was registered, that
sort-of suggests to me the mouse is still present as far as the kernel
is concerned)
[Footnote: I may be having the same problem at home, too (similarly
sarge 2.6.11, albeit PS2 mouse this time). However I can't confirm
that, I haven't used that machine much recently and I think the mouse
actually was physically unplugged at one point.]
