From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1 Description of problem: Downloading the latest patches this morning and my mouse buttons no longer work, the mouse still moves round the screen but clicking any of the 3 buttons or rolling the wheel has no effect. Rebooting under the previous kernel (2.6.10-1.770_FC3) and the mouse works as normal/expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot under 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 2. Run X or in standard 'console' mode, the mouse moves round the screen but clicking buttons does nothing. Actual Results: Clicks ineffective Expected Results: Cannot highlight/select text and cannot click on menus. Additional info: I have a laptop. The mousepad buttons still worked, the external mouse buttons did not. The external mouse is an AMU optical mouse 2050. /etc/sysconfig/mouse contains: FULLNAME="Generic - 3 Button Mouse (PS/2)" MOUSETYPE="imps2" XEMU3="no" XMOUSETYPE="IMPS/2" DEVICE=/dev/input/mice I ran mouseconfig and kudzu and it rewrote the file but with no change.
I can confirm this bug. Just installed fc3 from fc2, updated to latest kernel (2.6.11-1.14_FC3 from 2.6.9-1.667) and the mouse buttons don't work, exactly as above. Also running a laptop and as above mousepad buttons still work. [morgan@morgansmachine ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/mouse FULLNAME="Generic - 3 Button Mouse (PS/2)" MOUSETYPE="imps2" XEMU3="no" XMOUSETYPE="IMPS/2" DEVICE=/dev/input/mice [morgan@morgansmachine ~]$ Seems basic that pointing device works, maybe up-grade priority? Regards, Morgan.
Oh yes, The mouse: logitech; mod - M-C43; p/n 811401-0000
Still a bug with 2.6.11-1.27_FC3, same fix - 2.6.10 M.
Still a bug with 2.6.11-1.35_FC3, same fix - 2.6.10 This is beginning to be a big problem - I'm wanting to move on to fc4, but with this bug will I have a broken system if I do?... M.
I moved to FC4 this week (reinstall, not upgrade) and the mouse works nicely. If Morgan finds the same thing if he upgrades then I don't know if it is worth puzzling what was wrong with FC3.
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you.
Yes, fc3 fixed for kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3. Problem solved. Following Alain's advice I have all my ducks lined up to go to fc4 any day now. From Alain's experience I don't expect there to be a problem, but if there is I'll post - otherwise "solved". Thanks very much for your help. Regards, Morgan.
yup - solved in fc4 too. Morgan.
