UDEV rule broken?

Jebususu · 2011-03-16 07:31:45

So yesterdau I did a complete reinstall, and when using the same xorg.conf as before, when using a UDEV rule for my house (that previously worked flawlessly) the mouse becomes unresponsive, but, upon doing 'cat /dev/input/mx518' and moving my mouse around, I get lots of spam output, so the mouse is clearly being picked up under /dev/input/mx518, but for some reason X refuses to use it? UDEV rule / Xorg.conf below, I'm truly lost as to where I am going wrong

Hi,

I too have had a problem with a previously working udev rule.

The rule was to map a static device node for my IR remote, and worked flawlessly on my Ubuntu media box. Since I changed the media box to Arch, the udev rule still maps my remote, but the device no longer worked.

I have ended up using the /dev/input/by-id node to get the remote working again, so this could be a similar problem to what you are experiencing.

So firstly, I would suggest not using the udev rule and letting xorg use the device automatically assigned (unless there is a specific reason you must map the mouse to another device node??).

From looking at the output of your x server above, it appears you have 2 devices being mapped as a mouse.

This one being mapped to nodes at /dev/input/event7 and /dev/input/mouse0

Have you had a look at your mouse config gui? X may be defaulting to the wrong device, hence the reason you get output from cat /dev/input/mx518 but otherwise the mouse is unresponsive.

Worth a look?

Cheers.

[   529.419] (**) |-->Input Device "mx518"

X adds mouse

[   529.510] (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled.
[   529.510] (WW) Disabling mx518

X removes mouse

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "mx518"
    Driver         "mouse"

This is why X did that... devices using 'mouse' driver were disabled

X goes looking for any other devices and thinks it sees the mouse at event7 (not at your /dev/input/mx518). Since the InputDevice section for your mouse is being ignored anyways (since it says to use the 'mouse' driver), perhaps it might add your mouse properly if you had that section use the 'evdev' driver instead and then you would be able to explicitly tell X in that section to look for your device at /dev/input/mx518.
