From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: I currently run kernel-2.6.5-1.358. After upgrading to kernel-2.6.6- 1.427 the mouse pointer freezes to the upper right hand of screen and doesn't repond to mouse movement very much at all. I even tried upgrading to kernel-2.6.6-1.435 using yum fedora channel and the same malfunction happens. Pretty sure it's the kernel upgrade that causes the mouse malfunction (no other related peripheral updates applied to system...) rebooting the kernel back down to kernel-2.6.5-1.358 enables mouse to function normally again. This problem would problem affect other usb devices for others. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.6-1.427 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect usb Wacom tablet to intel architecture running FC2, kernel kernel-2.6.5-1.358 (Watch usb mouse work just fine) 2. Upgrade to kernel kernel-2.6.6-1.427 or kernel-2.6.6-1.435 3. Watch pointer jump to up right-hand corner of screen and usb mouse not work just fine anymore 4. Reboot system using kernel-2.6.5-1.358 again and watch it work like normal again. Actual Results: Usb Wacom tablet nmouse won't work after upgrading to kernel-2.6.6-1.427. Expected Results: Expected mouse functioning to continue flawlessly to work without any need for reconfiguration just because of kernel upgrade. Additional info:
I've used the Yum fedora channel to install and run kernel 2.6.6- 1.435.2.1 - The same issue with the kernel not properly handling the usb Wacom tablet mouse as described in steps 1-4 for reproducing this "bug" still exists.... rebooting the machine and loading the the older kernel-2.6.5-1.358 kernel (Step 4) enables the machine to properly recognize and operate the mouse again.
Created attachment 101619 [details] kernel2.6.6-1.435.2.3 (dmesg) log file Upgraded to kernel2.6.6-1.435.2.3 through Fedora yum channel. Wacom tablet still doesn't work. Don't know id this is REALLY kernel backwards compatibility problem with USB device or Driver/configuration problem. Made no configuration changes; downgrading to older version of kernel allows USB Wacom tablet/mouse to work again...

I think this is a kernel related problem: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5155500&forum_id=5398 http://nopaste.php.cd/23795 This patch isn't included in the vanilla kernel (afaik).
I just noticed http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9097380 Hopefully they'll include that into 2.6.9 so that bug will go away.
I'm having major problems with my usb wacom tablet, too. It used to work with 2.4.x kernels on FC1. I believe the error showed up as soon as I upgraded to a 2.6.x kernel. I'v now even had problems installing FC3 because of some conflicts. When I unplug the wacom installation goes smoothly. Plugging the wacom back into the running machine results into the following messages in /var/log/messages: Nov 17 22:22:42 marvin kernel: hub 2-2:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -71) Nov 17 22:22:42 marvin kernel: hub 2-2:1.0: cannot reset port 2 (err = -71) Nov 17 22:22:43 marvin kernel: hub 2-2:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -71) Nov 17 22:22:43 marvin kernel: hub 2-2:1.0: cannot reset port 2 (err = -71) Nov 17 22:22:43 marvin kernel: hub 2-2:1.0: cannot reset port 2 (err = -71) Nov 17 22:22:43 marvin kernel: hub 2-2:1.0: Cannot enable port 2.

Is there anything else I can do to help resolve this problem ?
I've upgraded to Fedora Core 3 and running with kernel 2.6.9-1.667. If this problem was with the kernel, it has been fixed now etheir by updates to accomodate this usb tablets functiaonality or in a misconfiguration somewhere that has been corrected with FC's awareness of external usb devices. At any rate, I'm satisfied with the mouse's functionality since upgrading to FC3.
I'm the originator of this bug... And I say the problem has been totally fixed with improvements to the kernel and default configurations that come with FC3. I think this bug needs to be closed now, and I think that it was at least updates that came with kernel 2.6.9-1.667 that resolved the 'bug'. Let's close this.
