gaminggeek: it's probably just your imagination. If /prob/bus/usb/devices says that the mousepoll is 10ms, then that means the mousepoll is 10ms. Sorry.
About sysfs... Sysfs is a new pseudo-filesystem in kernel-2.6. It is similar to procfs (mounted at /proc), but it provides (and allows you to modify) information about drivers in the kernel.
Take a look in /sys/. If it's mounted, there should be folders like "block", "bus", "classes", "firmware", "power", etc. If there's nothing there, then it's not mounted. Mount it with `mount -t sysfs none /sys` (as root).

One more question gaminggeek:
You DID recompile your kernel after patching it, didn't you? After patching the kernel, you need to run "make". This will only recompile the usbhid driver, so it should take no time at all. Then you need to run "make modules_install", and copy the new kernel image into /boot.

Great! No problems whatsoever with controlling the beast now?
If not, could you please tell me the name of your mouse? 
Thanks. |

With a little googlin' (and common sense) it seems to be a... *dromroll* Genius PowerScroll EYE.
Thanks. |

 I thought it would be better if you saw the non rebranded model |

| Hmm. My mouse is a Logitech and advertises 800dpi, but it's not in the MX line. Would the 800dpi patch work? |

There is no such thing as a "800dpi patch".
There is a utility, logitech_applet, which allows you to enable 800dpi-mode on your mouse.
"The patch" you are talking about, allows you to change the interval at which your mouse is polled, giving you the ability to enhance the preciseness of it.
Farewell.  |

Xithix: Yes, the logitech_applet should work to give you 800dpi on your mouse; however, there are only a few devices supported by the program. Here's a list of supported devices, pulled straight from the source code: | Code: | device_table[] = {
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC00E, "M-BJ58", "Wheel Mouse Optical", HAS_RES },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC00F, "M-BJ79", "MouseMan Traveler", HAS_RES },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC012, "M-BL63B", "MouseMan Dual Optical", HAS_RES },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC01D, "M-BS81A", "MX510 Optical Mouse", HAS_RES | HAS_SS | HAS_SSR },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC01B, "M-BP86", "MX310 Optical Mouse", HAS_RES },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC024, "M-BP82", "MX300 Optical Mouse", HAS_RES },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC025, "M-BP81A", "MX500 Optical Mouse", HAS_RES | HAS_SS | HAS_SSR },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC031, "M-UT58A", "iFeel Mouse (silver)", HAS_RES },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC501, "C-BA4-MSE", "Mouse Receiver", HAS_CSR },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC502, "C-UA3-DUAL", "Dual Receiver", HAS_CSR },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC504, "C-BD9-DUAL", "Cordless Freedom Optical", HAS_CSR },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC505, "C-BG17-DUAL", "Cordless Elite Duo", HAS_SS | HAS_SSR | HAS_CSR },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC506, "C-BF16-MSE", "MX700 Optical Mouse", HAS_SS | HAS_CSR },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC508, "C-BA4-MSE", "Cordless Optical TrackMan", HAS_SS | HAS_SSR | HAS_CSR },
{ VENDOR_LOGITECH, 0xC702, "C-UF15", "Receiver for Cordless Presenter", HAS_CSR },
{ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }
}; |
(BTW, The code above is from version 0.3; a newer version will probably support more mice).
So just create a new line if your device isn't supported. For an example, see the line for the MX310 above; I added it myself.
Here's a description of the values I used:
* VENDOR_LOGITECH is self explanatory.
* 0xC01B is a unique product identifier. I got it from /proc/bus/usb/devices, under the ProdID for my mouse.
* I dunno what "M-BP86" is. Probably a serial number or something; I got it from the underside of my mouse.
* "MX310 OPtical Mouse": again, self-explainatory.
* HAS_RES means it can be set to 800dpi mode. Also possible are HAS_SS (smart-scroll), HAS_CSR (cordless status reporting), and HAS_SSR (smart scroll reporting). You should be able to figure out which ones you want by looking at the features on the box.

Oh, and maybe this will be useful: | Code: | $ cat /etc/init.d/logitech
#!/sbin/runscript
depend() {
need localmount
before gpm
}
checkconfig() {
if [ ! -x /usr/local/bin/logitech_applet ]; then
eerror "Logitech Applet not found."
fi
return 0
}
start() {
checkconfig || return 1
ebegin "Running logitech mouse applet"
/usr/local/bin/logitech_applet --set-res=800 > /dev/null
/usr/local/bin/logitech_applet --get-res | grep [Rr]esolution
#renice -19 $(pgrep events)
eend $?
} |

Seems like it already is supported, though. First entry in the device table.
May I suggest that we create an updated list of devices, and e-mail it to the author? Quickly looking through the list, I notice that at least the MX1000 is missing.
Any MX1000 users here? 
EDIT:
Oh, sorry, I forgot that the Device ID might be different, my bad. |

Instructions can be found by going a few pages back, I think. |

I'm using gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.10-r6 and have applied the patch (with no error) and set the polling to 2 in the menuconfig.
When I:
cat /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/mousepoll
I get 2 (which is right).
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices gives me:
T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=046d ProdID=c024 Rev=98.02
S: Manufacturer=B16_b_02
S: Product=USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr= 98mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=01 Prot=02 Driver=usbhid
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 5 Ivl=2ms
which seems right.
However 'dmesg | grep polling' results in:
Machine check exception polling timer started.
Problem is, my mouse is no different than when I did not do this hack! Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
BTW, I'm using a logitech mx300. |

This is not related.

Nope, from what you've said, everything you've done is correct.
| mikeraach wrote: | | BTW, I'm using a logitech mx300. |
Alright, that mouse should indeed work....
You could try to....
| Code: | | echo 50 > /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/mousepoll |
...then replug your mouse, and move the cursor around a bit.
Does it feel imprecise? If that's the case, then hack is obviously working.
If it works, then I really don't know what to say. Perhaps you just cannot feel the difference? It is there, but it might not be very obvious. |

Newer versions of the patch no longer print the polling interval at startup. Check the source if you don't believe me.

I stole it from configurable-hid-mouse-polling-2.6.8.1.patch. I haven't tested it yet; my HID drivers are built into the kernel and I don't want to reboot. Try it out if you're game! Apply it after chmp-r5-FULL.patch.

There is really no reason to re-add that. At least not in my oppinion.
The exact same information can be fetched from usbfs (and /sysfs/module/...) |
