Xorg.0.log with F9

This is the Xorg.0.log when I attach the Cordless keyboard+mouse to my laptop running Fedora 9.

Could we get also output from lshal attached here, please?

lshal from F9 on laptop

This is lshal on F9, laptop where the mouse works properly.

Hmm, weird. It seems to be recognized:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_46d_c517_noserial_if1_logicaldev_input'
  access_control.file = '/dev/input/event2'  (string)

for some reason your mouse looks like a touchpad and is picked up by the synaptics driver. HAL assigns these on the capabilites exported, seems the mouse does export absolute axes or so too.

create a /etc/hal/fdi/policy/foo.fdi file (more meaningful name might be good :) and add the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.product" contains="Logitech USB Receiver">
        <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

then restart HAL, verify that lshal now shows input.x11_driver = evdev for the device and then restart X.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Input_device_configuration might be interesting for more info

Lets us know how you go.

Yes, it works.

Any reason why it used to work in Fedora 9 & 10 while now it needs the overwrite?

Cheers

we used to only set synaptics for actual "Synaptics" devices (with that string in the product name) but since extended to support most touchpads. so anything with input.touchpad in the capabilities is now picked up by synaptics.


please get http://people.freedesktop.org/~whot/evtest.c and run it against the device's /dev/input/eventX device (where X is a number, check /proc/bus/input/devices to get it). Then attach the output here. I'd like to know what capabilities the device provides that it's picked up as a touchpad instead of a mouse.

I've run it on my laptop. I attach as well the output of dmesg

Has anybody been able to analyze the output I provided?

Reassigning to HAL.

Is there any news on this?
Any idea if it has been fixed on F12?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
