X vs ohci-hcd vs mouse ;-)

Hello,

i have a strange problem. When I start X (XFree or X.org doesnt matter) it disables the mouse (led is turned off) and the whole system crashes. (very often but not everytime)

That only happens if ohci-hcd is loaded and (!) my mouse (Logitech) is plugged in.

If I plug my mouse after X is started or load ohci after X everything works fine.

I think it must be a software-problem because this works perfectly with SuSE 9.1.

Any ideas?


Pierre

Re: X vs ohci-hcd vs mouse ;-)

OK, you are right, this might be interresting ;-):

    Identifier    "Mouse1"
    Driver    "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "Auto"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/usbmouse"
#    Option "Buttons" "6"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Perhaps it may be the Protocol-thing?

Re: X vs ohci-hcd vs mouse ;-)

i would try something like

Identifier   "Mouse1"
    Driver   "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "Buttons" "6"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

This dos not change anything. Sometimes it works, somtimes it does not. Perhaps it is a bug within the ohci-module. Sometimes I get errors like:

Jul  8 15:01:55 athlon kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:00:07.4: init err
Jul  8 15:01:55 athlon kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:00:07.4: can't start
Jul  8 15:01:55 athlon kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:00:07.4: init error -16

The problem seems only exists at startup. When it`s loaded successfully it`ll run for days. ;-)

or try to compile the kernel within the ohci-module

Re: X vs ohci-hcd vs mouse ;-)

Building into kernel makes ohci only hangig during boot, when mouse is plugged in ;-) And there is no Bios-Update.
It seems as if other distros patched the USB-Modul. Perhaps I´ll find out which patches they use.
Now I am using the PS/2-Adapter which works fine. ;-)

Re: X vs ohci-hcd vs mouse ;-)

My ohci-based hcd works fine while my logitech mouse is plugged in at boot.  You may be a special case as far as your controller is concerned.  A cheap, generic USB PCI card may be all you need.  If it worked before, support may have been broken in a recent kernel release.  Feel free to file a bug report with those kernel people.
