Re: external mouse doesn't work in kdemod after upgrade

@stolowski: Your fix partially solved the problem. The mouse got a little bit more stable, but when I left clicked it went in the down part of the screen.

I found another fix for the moment. I borrowed my wife's wireless mouse which worked flawlessly for at least 30 minutes of KDE use and another 10 or so of Nexuiz playing (and then I left for work). So I think the Xorg team should spend a little more time figuring what happens and testing lots of hardware. I'm even willingful in providing them mice for testing. smile As I said before, my mouse is not an A4Tech, but a Fujitsu-Siemens/Primax Electronics.

Re: external mouse doesn't work in kdemod after upgrade

I'll try out hwd when I back from class. My mouse is an old logitech.

Re: external mouse doesn't work in kdemod after upgrade

the fix worked for me (laptop touchpad and Verbatim mouse) - on the other hand my screen is now green tinted. hmmmm. Well, at least I can click and type again.

Re: external mouse doesn't work in kdemod after upgrade

I similar problem - mouse (A4Tech X750) jumps to left top corner on 3 my desktops. Other mouses (Logitech, Razer) works fine. I can blame new kernel (2.6.31) or now Xorg (1.7). I think it is driver defect.

Re: external mouse doesn't work in kdemod after upgrade

using hwd -xa didn't work for me... my mouse went from stuck in one area of the screen to non moving. sad

nvidia-xconfig also didn't help. Guess I'll have to downgrade, unless there is something else I can try.

Re: external mouse doesn't work in kdemod after upgrade

Try changing the mouse. This worked for me, but I'm not sure which particular mice work and which don't. That's troublesome.

Re: external mouse doesn't work in kdemod after upgrade

Well, my mouse ModeCom MC-610 works fine, but not the touchpad. In Kde mouse stays at top-left corner, i can move it, but when i put away finger from tp, cursor backs to top-left corner. :s

At least i can use mouse.

Re: external mouse doesn't work in kdemod after upgrade

I guess I could try to find a usb mouse somewhere... But I like using my trusty old ps/2 ball mouse... I have a ps/2 laser mouse, but switching it in didn't help, plus cheap laser mice are worse than a broken xorg...

Re: external mouse doesn't work in kdemod after upgrade

On this link (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24737), provided earlier by stolowski there's a fix. It works for me and some people around there. Here's the fix link:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=31072

Also I've changed the PKGBUILD for xf86-input-evdev to merge the patch provided there:

# $Id: PKGBUILD 56434 2009-10-21 20:53:45Z andyrtr $

  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"

  ./configure --prefix=/usr || return 1

  install -m755 -d "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}"
  install -m644 COPYING "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/" || return 1
}

where patch1.diff is the patch provided on bugs.freedesktop.org.

Hope this helps everyone.

Re: external mouse doesn't work in kdemod after upgrade

New x1.7 makes more problems than mouse/touch pad issues. It sometimes crashes and i'm back in GDM, sometime netbook is unable to detect usb mouse at all (it seems no power is transmitted to usb port, i need to reboot system), and my webcam isn't working anymore.

I was trying to revert to xorg-server-1.6.3.901-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz, but it didn't work. Pacman said replacing packages with -U option is no longer supported. I found that package in cache. I downgraded it with -Ud, but now X is running no more. How can i safely downgrade that package?

Re: external mouse doesn't work in kdemod after upgrade

I think you should start a new topic on this. My guess is that you should also downgrade all input and graphic drivers (xf86-input-* xf86-video-*...).
