From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: I have a logitech cordless mouseman optical. It works fine in RH 7.2 but in 8.0, if I select imps/2 for the protocol, the mouse "goes nuts" when it's moved. The configuration from the RedHat 7.2: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse0" Option "ButtonNumber" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Name" "AutoDetected" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "AutoDetected" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection From 8.0: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse0" Option "ButtonNumber" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Protocol" "ps/2" Option "Vendor" "AutoDetected" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection When I use Option "Protocol" "ps/2", the mouse functions, but the wheel doesn't function. If I use Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2", the mouse starts opening windows, moving folders around, and basicly goes nuts when it's moved. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use the IMPS/2 protocol with the mouse configuration section in XF86Config 2.startx 3.move mouse Actual Results: windows start opening, open objects start moving around, general chaos occurs. Expected Results: mouse pointer should move in the direction the mouse is moving. Additional info:
When a mouse is probed, or once it has been configured to use a specific protocol, the mouse can be frozen in that state, and require a full hardware reset to be initialized properly. It is not at all uncommon for mouse misconfiguration to make the mouse completely inoperable and even cause random erratic mouse and keyboard behaviour. Only a full system powerdown can reset the mouse in this case. Configure IMPS/2, then exit. Shutdown the computer completely and power it right off. Then power it back up, and start X up, and the mouse should work fine with IMPS/2. Does it?
Sorry, no dice, it's still wiggin out.
