From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050302 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2 Description of problem: Problem: External PS/2 mouse refuses to work while LaptopTouchpad works fine. Intended behavior: The PS/2 mouse should work parallel to the Touchpad Mouse, but it doesnt work at all, tried several mouses. Detailed: Using a Compaq Evo N115 Laptop fedora sees the onboard Synaptic Touchpad and it works like a charm. I plugged in a Microsoft Intellimouse PS/2 Generic 3 Button Mouse as a second mouse to use at the same time, but I cannot use it. kudzu is started at boot, but anyway, no result. Meaning: There appears no second mouse for udev in /dev and cat /dev/[any possible place] while moving the external mouse does not show any output. Now the weird thing is: dmesg and /var/log/messages show something, when I move the external mouse, that is: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1 psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1 psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 - driver resynched. And this is not only one or two lines, but THE WHOLE LOG. This gets triggered by just moving the mouse a bit and dmesg really flows over with just these messages(the third line appears very rarely compared to the other/s) As mentioned, I tried it with other mice(all PS/2) and had the same behavior. I now add the important parts of xorg.conf inspite of thinking it is a kernel or even hardwarespecific problem: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv My guess: -Kernel support is wrong in which case I cannot do anything -its Hardwareproblem concerning my specific laptop model(Compaq Evo N115) and I have to update BIOS Thanks for your consideration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. just startup and use any X-desktop 2. 3. Actual Results: plugged in PS/2 mouse does NOT work as pointer. Expected Results: PS/2 mouse should move the cursor while I move the mouse with my hand :) And kudzu should have recognised the mouse at boot time Additional info: I cannot try this with a USB mouse, because I do not own one, but I will add a comment if that would not work either!
