Description of Problem: Stick on IBM Scrollpoint mouse does not work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.1.0-0.9.13 How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure mouse as specified in docs: http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/mouse6.html#35 2. xev does not show mouse events for buttons 4,5,6,7 Actual Results: As above Expected Results: xev should report events for buttons 4,5,6,7 as the stick on the mouse is moved around. Additional Information: Mouse is attached to USB port and event flow is processed via drivers/input/mousedev.c. My exploration leads me to believe that drivers/input/mousedev.c does not contain the logic to recognize the mouse initialization strings sent there by the X server. But, in XFree86-3.3.6 (with the same kernel) the mouse can be initializaed properly and will generate stick events.
not a kernel bug it seems
