Description of problem: I have a PS2 mouse that is connected via a PS2-USB converter. It used to work fine, but stopped working after 1. upgrade (yum update) to latest kernel (or whatever package); 2. and a reboot. After the reboot, at the X window login, the kernel no longer recognize the mouse: move, click, no response. Login to KDE, same, no response to mouse movement/clicks. At first I thought it's the mouse problem. But booting with F7 Live CD proved that the mouse is working fine. Also to prove it's not my illusion, I have another F9 that worked fine with said mouse before upgrade, but stopped working after upgrade and reboot. It's quite possible that kernel is not the one to blame, but since 1. /var/log/messages says kernel detected the mouse when inserted; 2. I don't know which module to assign this bug to; I picked kernel first. Please reassign as you see fit. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 'yum update' to upgrade to latest F9 as of 9/22/08. 2. reboot. Actual results: Mouse no longer working (no response to movement/clicks) at login window. Expected results: Said mouse should be working (able to move mouse pointer), as it used to before the upgrade. Additional info:
May I get the output of dmesg(8) attached? I mean saving it to file with "dmesg >/tmp/dmesg.dmesg", then attaching it as text/plain file.
Created attachment 317431 [details] dmesg as requested in Comment #1. Thanks for fast response. Please see attached dmesg file. BTW, I booted into an earlier kernel (2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686) this time, still see the same no-response issue.
BTW, this seems to be the USB device I have: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 13ba:0017 I remove/insert the USB converter, and use 'lsusb' to see the difference, which is the above entry. Since this issue was also seen in 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686, which worked fine before reboot, my guess is, kernel is not guilty. But I don't know what module it should go.
Indeed dmesg looks like the kernel recognizes the keyboard and mouse: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Generic USB K/B] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-3.4 input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Generic USB K/B] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-3.4 I expected to see some error.
Created attachment 317482 [details] yum update rpms; one of them caused the mouse to stop. I agree with your approach: do the basic check first. After kernel detecting the device, which module should pick up? Attched please see a list of rpm updates; one of the updates caused the problem (mouse was working before update, stopped after update). Some of are x11 related xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.0.4-1.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-drv-geode-2.10.1-1.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.3-12.1.fc9.noarch xorg-x11-server-common-1.5.0-1.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.0-1.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-xdm-1.1.6-3.fc9.i386 Maybe one of them caused the issue?
Found the culprit. Update to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.0-1.fc9.i386 the mouse stopped working. Downgrade to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.901-29.20080415.fc9.i386.rpm mouse works again. This is always reproducible. Changed component to xorg-x11-server. Updated bug report: Description of problem: Same as in Comment #0. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.0-1.fc9.i386 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 'yum update' to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.0-1.fc9.i386 2. reboot. 3. move/click USB mouse. Actual results: Mouse no longer working (no response to movement/clicks) at login window. Expected results: Said mouse should be working (able to move mouse pointer), as it used to before the upgrade. Additional info: workaround: (to others who ran into the same issue) before a fix is available, one can downgrade to an earlier version, eg. i=xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.901-29.20080415.fc9.i386.rpm rpm -U --oldpackage $i
Please reassign, now that we know the offending module is xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.0-1.fc9.i386.
Tim, can you cross-check with Bug 456936 please. This issue should be fixed with xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.0-2.fc9
Thanks, Peter. That worked fine for me. Indeed my PS2->USB converter has both keyboard and mouse on it, thus fits description of bug 456936. I'll mark this bug as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 456936 ***
