Description Piotrek Juźwiak 2009-11-15 21:49:27 UTC
Description of problem: Jerky mouse movement after a while. While installing (and after the completed installation) mouse start to behave very jerky in that if i try to move it at normal pace it just stands still, if i slow down a bit then it moves a little bit, additionally the mouse pointer goes very often to the bottom of the screen. I appended "nomodeset" per forum advice and i could work about 5 minutes longer until it hit me again. Additionally while i could work normally the mouse pointer was going very often to the bottom (if i don't move the mouse it won't go down). I have a nVidia's 8800GT. P35-DS3R, Intel Q6600, BIOS in version F13, the mouse is an USB A4Tech laser mouse (IIRC model XB570). Reconnecting the mouse doesn't help at all.

I installed the RC.4 release which is supposed to be the GM release, i checked the sha255 sum which was correct, after burning the DVD i made an iso image of that DVD and checked the created image against the sha256 sum and it was the same so it has been correctly burned. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install system
2.Login and just have it on
3.
  
Actual results:Mouse cursor behaves very jerky and in order to use it i would have to move it with a VERY slow speed


Expected results:
The mouse cursor should behave as in everywhere else, move smoothly. The same mouse on openSUSE 11.2 works just fine.

The BUG works both under gnome and kde, additionally i tried to install with vesa driver and it's still there.

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

latest dmesg #3

I think freshest dmesg just after the jerkyness appeared.

Comment 8 Piotrek Juźwiak 2009-11-16 07:27:59 UTC
I also wanted to add that the mouse cursor is very often "pulled?" to the bottom of the screen and also i can't move it left or right. I can move the cursor left or right ONLY if i also move the cursor UP or DOWN.

Comment 9 Piotrek Juźwiak 2009-11-16 07:32:57 UTC
I can notice a somewhat similar patter with dmesg and i guess nouveau is here to blame. Every time the jerkyness appeared dmesg showed this.

Xorg.0.log for A4Tech X7

I think I've got the same issue. It's laptop. Touchpad behaves like it should, but mouse pointer moves to left upper edge of the screen when using my external mouse (laser, usb A4Tech X7). It has one roller and 6 usable buttons. There were no problems with this mouse on Fedora 11. 

I've got no problems with other external, laser, usb mouse. It's fresh F12 installation.

Comment 12 Piotrek Juźwiak 2009-11-18 17:58:41 UTC
Then i guess this is mouse's fault? I got the X-750BF model.

Comment 13 Piotrek Juźwiak 2009-11-20 00:50:48 UTC
I was searching for the soultion somewhere and stumbled upon this patch (link), could you dear devs have a look at it?

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=31069

It was reported to work for them after that and it was the same issue that was reported but in arch.

Comment 14 Piotrek Juźwiak 2009-11-20 00:56:05 UTC
Also it has been already reported and they have an official fix? (i guess it's the one from above)

I'm the reporter of the Bug 538763 (marked as duplicate of this bug) and can say that after installing the package above my mouse is working correctly!

Thanks! Great work!

Comment 23 wojnilowicz 2009-11-23 12:10:43 UTC
I think you haven't installed this package correctly or installed other version of package.

Comment 24 Bruno Medeiros 2009-11-23 15:03:26 UTC
I said that the package fixed my problem, so I didn't understand your comment,  NSLW.

I didn't read your comment carefully. Please excuse me :)
