|
|
As the title says, I have a usb keyboard and mouse (logitech g510 kb / g500 mouse), that have always worked perfectly fine. I swapped motherboards recently, and everything still works great - except the mouse. It's "detected", but the cursor doesn't move. Now for some reason, if I walk over, un-plug it, and re-plug it back in, it works fine as before.
I can continue walking around every time I startx, but feel like this should be fixable? Any quick thoughts or shall I start sharing dmesg & /proc/config.gz etc .. I'm pretty sure I had all the usb/hid kernel config bits sorted out long ago .. I've re-emerged evdev but no dice
TIA |

That's annoying...
Curious, do you have USB drivers as modules or statically compiled into the kernel? UHCI/OHCI? EHCI? XHCI?
I have to do that with my mouse if I give it a static jolt... if I accumulate enough static charge and touch my mouse, the mouse goes dead and I have to disconnect and reconnect for it to start working again. _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K@ 4.1GHz/HD3000 graphics/8GB DDR3/180GB SSD

all of those are statically compiled in .. again, pretty sure my config has been good for a long time
well, the other day re-plugging it in did not work. I tried plugging it in the usb 3 controller and it worked. And now it works on boot and I don't have to replug it in. So i'm beginning to suspect a faulty usb2 hub on the board, but i doubt I'll RMA it for that. So I guess this is solved for now, unless someone has some other thoughts. I figured maybe someone out there had this same problem, as I searched and found a few similar threads but not quite exactly this..
summary: mouse plugged into usb 2 port does not work, have to replug in. Sometimes even replugging it does not work. Plugged in to usb 3 port and works perfect.

After replugging the mouse, is there any change in lsmod output? _________________ Buy from companies supporting opensource -- IBM, Dell, HP, Hitachi, Google etc...

This happens to me, too -- on the laptop (both on AC and on Battery).
In the process of building various stage4 from the Gentoo profiles list, I've
noticed that it..
Happens: x86 Xorg, no-multilib Xorg, hardened no-multilib Xorg
Doesn't Happen : x86 no-Xorg (gpm), x86 Xorg, multi-lib no-Xorg, multi-lib Xorg,
hardened multi-lib no-Xorg, hardened multi-lib Xorg
(I have a USB 8-Button Xornet Gaming Mouse with Zoom, running off 'PS/2 mouse
common to all mice')
Note that the Synaptics Touchpad works under all conditions, and doesn't need a
re-plug (How? would I do that?) to function correctly -- this is using just evdev,
and PS/2 mouse common to all mice to handle the Synaptics, it seems. _________________ Stan: A signal? Why didn't you wake me?

This was a hub problem. Now I dont use any hubs. _________________ Buy from companies supporting opensource -- IBM, Dell, HP, Hitachi, Google etc...
