After a system update my mousepointer only moves vertically when i move the mouse horizontal, all other directions does nothing also the mouse buttons.

I have tried it with two diffrent mice.

This behavier appears in X11 and in gpm.

So I suspect it is not a xorg.conf problem. I think the PS2-mouse-protokoll is broken in some way.
Is there a kernel-module which could cause that problem?

Do you see any relevant information in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. This is an example of the information I get about my mouse:

I think a mouse-button-event becomes a mouse-motion-event.
But why? Which kernel module (libinput?) could be the problem?


What else could be useful to to test?

I see from the logs that your mouse have many buttons and it might be possible that these buttons/movements are not correctly configured. You can use x11-apps/xev to check what is detected.

For example, my mouse configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-mouse.conf is:

Code:
Section "InputClass"
   Identifier "Ratoli"
   Driver   "evdev"
   Option   "ButtonMapping" "3 2 1 4 5"

   MatchisPointer "on"
EndSection


From your logs, it seems that your mouse is first loaded by evdev and later by udev. At the end of the log, udev seems to complain that the device has already been loaded.

Code:
[  3895.704] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Laview Technology Mionix Castor (/dev/input/mouse0)
[  3895.704] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[  3895.704] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.


Is there any configuration for this mouse in xorg.conf?

Cheers!

    #Option         "Device" "/dev/mice"
    #Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
...



But I think its a Kernel-Module-Problem...
because I compared evemu-record output with an other computer output and I get BTN-LEFT events for pushing the left Button.
AFAIK collect evemu-record the events before X or everything else process them.

It was a kernel-problem...

I dont know what I really did to fix it. I took a .config file of an older kernel and then it worked again ...

There is a kernel bug some where but i dont know how to track him down.

Waw! I am sorry, I did not think it was a kernel issue :roll:

You may compare the new and the old .config file with 'vimdiff' (or diff), and check what the differences are. I do not have enough knowledge of the kernel options :? .

Just in case, from /var/log/Xorg.0.log, check that there is not a conflict between evdev and libinput.

Cheers!
