Mouse stops moving cursor until I click (autosuspend?)

Hi, I have a logitech G400 (046d:c24c), which started to act weird since my last reboot.

it stops moving the cursor once i stop moving it for 4 seconds. clicking will “wake it up” again

the update i did during the boot before:

there are several suspicious things: libgudev, libinput, upower

some research showed that this problem sounds like one ther people had with autosuspending mice. i have a desktop pc and the mouse is wired so that’s weird, but well…

a workaround for that problem seems to be adding udev rules, so i checked the changed udev rules in that upower update:

+# These devices bind to the hid-logitech-hidpp module since Linux 3.19
+ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c52b", DRIVER=="logitech-hidpp-device", ENV{UPOWER_BATTERY_TYPE}="unifying"
+ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c532", DRIVER=="logitech-hidpp-device", ENV{UPOWER_BATTERY_TYPE}="unifying"

my device id is not among them…

so what happened?

Re: Mouse stops moving cursor until I click (autosuspend?)

Hi,

I'm sorry I don't have a solution for this but I wanted to let you -and possibly others reading this thread- know that you're not alone with this.
I'm experiencing the same issue since 1-2 days after a full system upgrade.

I have an old Logitech MX5500 with a bluetooth receiver (no unifying either).
Whether I click or not doesn't make any difference. To wake the mouse up again I have to either click or move it for a few seconds. It goes to sleep fairly quickly, something between 5-10 seconds of not moving the mouse is enough

The BT receiver registers as an usb hub. I watched kmsg and nothing shows up when the mouse enters "sleep" or awakens from sleep and it does work without problems on other OS, so I guessed the hardware wasn't to blame and started looking for solutions. Yours is the first post I encountered that matched my problem.

I didn't have an older libgudev in my cache but I quickly tested downgrading upower and libinput to no effect unfortunately

As suggested in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=199065 by reedts removing /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/42-usb-hid-pm.rules solves the problem. Would like to know what exactly causes this.

Re: Mouse stops moving cursor until I click (autosuspend?)

a quick fix is this:

for dev in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*; do
        if [[ -f $dev/idVendor && $(cat $dev/idVendor) == 046d && $(cat $dev/idProduct) == c24c ]]; then
                echo on | sudo tee $dev/power/control
        fi
done

you’ll need to supply your vendor and device ID though

Re: Mouse stops moving cursor until I click (autosuspend?)

As per the other thread, this is USB powersaving that is causing this.  It was enabled but then it became apparent a lot of keyboards (and apparently mice) report that they support power saving when they don't really (or it's not fast enough to be usable.)

All power saving related things have been taken out of systemd-udevd now, so the next release (systemd-222) should no longer have this problem when it comes out.
