Last modified: 2008-02-05 08:35:36 EST
Description of problem: While kernel 2.6.15 and before (from 2.6.12 or so I think) has no problems with Digitus KVM switch, a new problem rises up with 2.6.16 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.16-1.2096_FC4 How reproducible: Everytime booting 2.6.16 kernels Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect keyboard and mouse through Digitus KVM switch 2. boot 3. try to use mouse wheel Actual results: mouse cursor moving fast to right side of screen instead of scrolling up or down Expected results: Working like in 2.6.15 Additional info: Afair I had already problems with original Fedora Core 4 kernel and mouse connected through Digitus KVM switch Now problems appear again. Are there any major changes made in mouse driver code?
[This comment added as part of a mass-update to all open FC4 kernel bugs] FC4 has now transitioned to the Fedora legacy project, which will continue to release security related updates for the kernel. As this bug is not security related, it is unlikely to be fixed in an update for FC4, and has been migrated to FC5. Please retest with Fedora Core 5. Thank you.
It still happen on latest FC5 kernel-2.6.17-1.2187_FC5. I run additional hardware tests and found following: Logitech Cordless Wheel Mouse: problem exists Logitech Cordless MouseMan optical: ok
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you.
This bug has been mass-closed along with all other bugs that have been in NEEDINFO state for several months.

Closing since there was an error in previous mass-close and they remained in NEEDINFO.
