[gentoo-user] Linux Kernel 3.2.0 & USB Mouse

[gentoo-user] Linux Kernel 3.2.0 & USB Mouse

[Hilco Wijbenga]

Hi all,

I'm trying to upgrade the kernel on my desktop from 3.1.6 to
3.2.0(-r1). Unfortunately, my Logitech USB trackball does not work in
3.2.0. It is listed in the lsusb output so it is being recognized but
neither GPM nor X responds to it.

I have tried to make sure that the .config files are as identical as
possible. The differences that I see do not seem relevant to my
problem. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Hilco

Which trackball? Mine works fine with no changes

Mine works too.  Did you rebuild the xord input driver when you switched 
kernels?

You mean x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev? Yes, I did. Mind you, I don't
think that's necessary. I usually only run module-rebuild and that's
enough. Still, I was desperate so I also rebuilt everything in "qlist
-IC x11-drivers". :-)

Come to think of it, I don't believe this is X related. As I wrote
originally, GPM doesn't work either. That seems to imply my problem is
with the kernel, right?

I don't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-evdev.conf. My evdev works fine
without any extra rules. So far, anyway. :-) I'll see if this makes
any difference.

IIRC the kernel config choices for HID were reorganized recently.
I remember that my keyboard stopped working and I had to set some
HID selection that I can't recall now, but it's worth a look.

Yes, I noticed that when I compared the old and new configs. The only
entries that seemed relevant were CONFIG_USB_MOUSE and
CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD. The documentation is quite specific, though: "you
don't want this". I tried them anyway but no luck.

If you remember more details, I'd be very interested.

You definitely do not want to set those, they are not for mouses and
keyboards as normally used. They are for small embedded systems that do
not support the full HID setup. You must disable those settings and
just use the regular HID stuff.

All right, I found the problem. I needed to add support for "Logitech
Unifying receivers full support":

Device Drivers
-> HID Devices (HID_SUPPORT)
-> Special HID drivers
-> Logitech devices (HID_LOGITECH)
-> Logitech Unifying receivers full support

Thanks all!

Today I've tried to upgrade from 3.1.6 to 3.2.1. I did not change 
anything else only the options mentioned below

> Device Drivers
> -> HID Devices (HID_SUPPORT)
> -> Special HID drivers
> -> Logitech devices (HID_LOGITECH)
> -> Logitech Unifying receivers full support

After that my mouse stopped working in X (yes, evdev emerged after the 
kernel upgrade).

I had the following errors in my log

Feb 22 17:17:55 brutal kernel: logitech-djreceiver 0003:046D:C52B.0003: 
claimed by neither input, hiddev nor hidraw
Feb 22 17:17:55 brutal kernel: logitech-djreceiver 0003:046D:C52B.0003:

Feb 22 17:26:20 brutal kernel: logitech-djreceiver 0003:046D:C52B.0007:

Do you have any idea?

Thanks

Try disabling HID_LOGITECH, and rely on their base support for the HID
input device spec.

Finally it is working by enabling some HID_RAW parameter in the kernel 
config
