Hello,

I'm just doing my part in getting the new kernel stable

kernel: linux-2.5.43
hardware:DELL Inspiron 8100
mouse: Logitech USB Optical Mouse
config:

		CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV
		CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV
		CONFIG_SERIO
		CONFIG_SERIO_I8042
		CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE
		CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2
		CONFIG_USB
		CONFIG_USB_HID
		CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT

/dev/input/mice and /dev/input/mouse0 exist and are used for my internal PS/2 mouse.

dmesg shows that USB mouse exists, and also shows insert and removes correctly.

However no /dev/input/mouse1 apears nor do events for this mouse apear on /dev/input/mice.

Thanks,
Take

How hard? Does numlock still work? Can you tell if the CPU is busy afterwards (ie, your laptop remains hot).

I did find out that it only happens when my compact flash card is insurted. Without it I can do a kill of the cardmgr.

I haven't checked numlock. But I can't switch consoles with alt+f?.

I'll do some more test this evening in the hotel.

So it looks like you don't have a driver for the mouse loaded (should be hid). Can you check this in driverfs? (You used to be able to do this in /proc/bus/usb/drivers, but the maintainer knew better :-{)
If you did this as modules, lsmod would be good to know too.

Also, there is a problem with 2.5.43, in that the core driver model stuff got screwed up. That caused problem if you turned on the usb test framework driver, and some other issues. Here is a simple patch that David Brownell did:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=103457053803353&w=2

I'm not sure about 2.5.44 - you could try that too?

Yes, I compared it with the 2.4.19 output, which has the Driver=hid thing. I have enabled the HID (full HID) and HID input layer in the kernel

Looks OK.

That info isn't known to the usb core anymore, only the driver core.

The internal scratch pad works, but the internal wart mouse doesn't,
in the BIOS it is set to use both devices for input. This is tested with both Xfree86 and running cat on /dev/input/mice and /dev/input/ mouse0 and /dev/input/event0.

Probing for various other PS/2 extensions appears to confuse the thing such that the clitmouse no longer works. If we probe for it first and then abort the other probes, it seems happier...

I just tried 2.5.51, but I still have the same problem, scratch pad works, but internal wart mouse doesn't.

Here is the current dmesg output:
device class 'input': registering register interface 'mouse' with class 'input'
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice register interface 'joystick' with class 'input' register interface 'event' with class 'input'
input: PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1

input: AT Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0

Thank you,
Take Vos
