I have a Dell Latitude D600 laptop that I'm using to test Fedora 9 (rawhide). Under X, the only pointing device that I can get to function is the touchpad mouse. The keyboard button mouse (between the G, H, and B keys) doesn't function; an external USB mouse that I've been using for years also fails. Curiously, though, if the laptop panel has gone into DPMS power save mode, using the keyboard button mouse or using the USB mouse (either moving it or clicking buttons) will kick the laptop panel back on. So, clearly, inputs from these devices are being processed on some level; they just don't seem to be capable of moving the cursor or generating button press events.

Can we get an output of xev, when moving the keyboard mouse, please, attached to this bug?
Alas, there's nothing to attach; moving the keyboard mouse generates no events in xev whatsoever. (The same is true with the USB mouse; moving it or pressing buttons generates no events.)
OK, that's interesting.
The USB mouse works properly in all computers I've used it with. Also, my laptop is a Windows/Linux dual-boot system, and the USB mouse and the keyboard mouse both work properly when I boot into Windows.
I'm seeing a similar/same problem on an IBM T42 thinkpad w/ the F9 alpha distro. The synaptic touchpad and it's two buttons function normally. The trackpoint and it's 3 buttons do not function. Two usb mice i've tried (Logitech wired and wireless) do not function. The non-functioning devices do not produce a response for xev. Inserting a usb mouse cause apparently normal output from "udevadm monitor ...". Normal looking devices are created for the usb mice under /dev/input. I copied the 2.6.24.1-26.fc9 kernel, initrd, and /lib/modules tree to a partition with a current fc8 distro, and booted the fc9 kernel. All mouse devices worked as expected using the fc9 kernel and fc8 root distro files.
As of about a week or so ago, I no longer see this problem; all of the touchpad, the keyboard mouse, and external USB mice work fine. I'm unsure of what specific update fixed it, though. Steve, are you still seeing problems?
Everything is now working perfectly.
Ok. I'm going to assume this problem is fixed, then.
