Description Michel Dänzer 2010-04-08 15:39:07 UTC
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
12.6.6-1.fc13 (still there in 12.6.7-1.fc13 AFAICT)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Fedora 13 Alpha in a VM supported by the vmmouse driver.
  
Actual results:
The evdev driver is used for the mouse, resulting in reduced mouse functionality in the VM.

Expected results:
The vmmouse driver is loaded and used automatically.


Additional info:
The xf86-input-vmmouse 12.6.8 release provides udev rules and xorg.conf.d snippet files which should be usable for fixing this.

There is nothing to triage here. Either we do upgrade for stable distribution, or we don't.

Switching to ASSIGNED so that developers have responsibility to do whatever they want to do with it.

Rawhide build xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse-12.6.9-1.fc14 available from koji:

That still only gave me 12.6.7-1.fc13 from a Fedora 13 Alpha live CD, but I was able to download 12.6.9-1.fc13 from koji.

It fixes the problem, but there seems to be no mechanism to automatically update the udev database after upgrading the package, so I had to manually run udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change.

Comment 6 Michel Dänzer 2010-04-13 15:00:45 UTC
I see the fix hasn't made it into Fedora 13 beta. Will it make it into the final Fedora 13 release?

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2011-06-02 15:33:06 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 8 Michel Dänzer 2011-06-03 07:57:46 UTC
Wasn't this fixed in an F13 update?

Comment 9 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 15:29:40 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
