Description Sean Middleditch 2004-01-25 06:53:34 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6)
Gecko/20040115 Epiphany/1.0.7

Description of problem:
The scroll wheel on my USB scroll mouse does not work for scrolling,
altho clicking the wheel results in a button 3 click, as is expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.1-1.57

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install devel kernel
2. boot into X
3. use xev, cat /dev/input/mice, or just any app and try using the
scroll wheel    

Actual Results:  No scroll events are generated at all.

Expected Results:  Scroll events should be generated.

Additional info:

Previous kernels (kernel-2.6.1-1.34, iirc) worked perfectly fine with
the scroll wheel.  X packages have not been changed.

Comment 1 Sean Middleditch 2004-01-29 00:13:18 UTC

just a note, this still doesn't work with kernel 2.6.1-1.61.

Comment 2 Sean Middleditch 2004-02-05 03:35:44 UTC

According the kernel bugzilla, a patch is available - no mention where
that patch is, tho...  http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329

Definitely still broken on kernel 2.6.1-1.65

And i'll stop spamming you now unless explicitly asked for more info.  ;-)

Comment 3 Sean Middleditch 2004-02-18 03:18:57 UTC

Problem/fix found.

The uhci-hcd driver wasn't loaded, which is apparantly needed for full
mouse operation.  Whatever other driver was letting the mouse work
before handled everything except the scroll wheel, it seems.

I guess the fix would be to have the proper driver for the system load
by default without the user needing to hack on the modprobe.conf file.
 From reading the list archives (where I just chanced upon this fix),
it seems as if this problem is common.

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2005-01-11 04:57:52 UTC

fixed in current trees ?

Comment 5 Sean Middleditch 2005-01-11 05:00:54 UTC

I haven't encountered any problems on either of my test systems.  Seems to be
working.
