Solved: new xorg and bluetooth mouse problem

[boba_911]

Hi all,

after upgrading Xorg to x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4-r1, my BT mouse is being ignored by the X. As before update it got connected, as dmesg says:

input: ASUS Rechargeable BT Mouse as /class/input/input8
generic-bluetooth 00054B01.0001: input: BLUETOOTH HID v1.08 Mouse [ASUS Rechargeable BT Mouse] on 00:10:C6:FF:91:9A

blueman-manager also sees the mouse as connected, but it is being ignored by X.
"xinput list" reports only (Mouse0 stands for touchpad):
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Mouse0 id=7 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Keyboard0 id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
Before I saw one more device...
What can be the problem?

Did you run

Code: Select all

emerge portage-utils
qlist -I -C x11-drivers

or something similar?

Just reflected info, recieved from "cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -A 4 -B 5 mouse"
in the xorg.conf:
===============
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "ASUS Rechargeable BT Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Name" "ASUS Rechargeable BT Mouse"
Option "Phys" "00:10:C6:FF:91:9A"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
...
...
InputDevice "ASUS Rechargeable BT Mouse"
EndSection
===============
Have no idea why it was working before, and why now I should have this in my xorg.conf

As described in this thread:

you'll have to rebuild some drivers.

Did you run:

Code: Select all

qlist -I -C x11-drivers

?

Had the same problem here, fix worked like a dream.

Just wish things like this would be better documented - we're badgered about license issues with packages and new KDE and Gnome subprofiles, but something like this, that will kill useability in a desktop system running Gentoo unless you take some very specific (and not particularly intuitive) action requires a trawl of forums...
