New kernel mouse recognition problem

New kernel mouse recognition problem

[Victor Fernandes]

Dear kernel gurus,

I have a long experience with linux but not at the kernel level, so my
apologies if this post is not appropriate for the list, but it seemed to
me to be the only possible one to post my question.

Obviously I've also tried to find the solution on the archives (and more)
but found nothing appropriate.

Problem: It appears that the new kernels, I've actually kernel 2.6.17-5
(Mandriva 2007) installed, and tested others on the 2.6.x range, do not
recognition my "Track Point" mouse anymore. I have on the boot logs
(syslog) the following message: "logips2pp: Detected unknown logitech
mouse model 0".

The same system with a kernel 2.6.12-12 (Mandriva 10.1) worked properly.

Is my mouse too old? Is this a bug? Are there any possibilities to solve
the problem?

Please Cc me directly on your replies because I'm not subscribe to the
list, I hope this is OK. Obviously I'm more then happy to provide any
required information.

Thank you,

Victor Fernandes

Does the mouse still work despite this message?

How was it identified by 2.6.12? Could you please send me output of
cat /proc/bus/input/devices on 2.6.12 and 2.6.17?

Dmitry,

Thanks for you feedback, sorry for the delay on my reply but because
I'm not subscribe to the list, only now I saw your message. I hope you
will be able to see that this message is a follow up on the previous ones.
If you do not mind can you please Cc directly to me.

Now to answer your questions.
The mouse do not works properly, I mean with this that I have the mouse
pointer on the screen, with gpm and X, but it jumps randomly when used.

I include below the output from the cat /proc/bus/input/devices, on my
actual kernel, 2.6.17-5, I can not include the one from the previous
kernel because I've reinstalled the system and I don't have at the moment
the possibility to run that previous kernel on the system. If necessary I
can try to install it again.

If you prefer that I subscribe to the list to make you followup's easyer
just let me know.

Thanks

Victor Fernandes

I did CC you on my reply but unfortunaltely your mail server did
not like me. Let's see if this one goes through.

Does it help if you boot with "psmouse.proto=exps"? (Is psmouse a built-in
or a module)?

Oh yes it helps, it works nicely, on X and on the console with gpm.

Most probably psmouse is built-in on the kernel because I have no
module with that name and if I check on the, what I suppose was the
build .config kernel file, I can see the following:

CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
 CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y

 Do you want me to check something else?

Don't bother to Cc me directly anymore, I have subscribe to the
mailing list with another e-mail address to avoid problems. Some
domain migration issues, sorry for the inconveniency. Regards,

Victor Fernandes
