I've had a Gyration USB keyboard/mouse combo for a few years, and haven't used
the mouse, simply because it didn't work with FreeBSD. I've finally gotten
around to trying to do something about that.
Both the mouse and keyboard are recognized. The problem is that all input is
ignored unless the middle mouse button is depressed. In that case, though, the
input is garbled... There are spurious button events and the x/y/z axes
seemingly random values. y/z tend to stay around the same number, though those
numbers change each time that ums is attached.
I've found where the input is disguarded, in ums.c:447 (RELENG_5 tag)
ibuf = sc->sc_ibuf;
/*
* The M$ Wireless Intellimouse 2.0 sends 1 extra leading byte of
* data compared to most USB mice. This byte frequently switches
* from 0x01 (usual state) to 0x02. I assume it is to allow
* extra, non-standard, reporting (say battery-life). However
* at the same time it generates a left-click message on the button
* byte which causes spurious left-click's where there shouldn't be.
* This should sort that.
* Currently it's the only user of UMS_T so use it as an identifier.
* We probably should switch to some more official quirk.
*/
if (sc->flags & UMS_T) {
if (sc->sc_iid) {
if (*ibuf++ == 0x02)
return;
}
} else {
if (sc->sc_iid) {
if (*ibuf++ != sc->sc_iid)
// Returns here
return;
}
}
It returns in the else block as labeled by the comment. The value of *ibuf
(i.e. sc->sc_ibuf[0]) is always 0x00 and sc->sc_iid is always 0x04. With the
wheel down, they're both 0x04.
If I comment out the return line, I get the same garbled data that I get with
the wheel button down. In that case, though, the x access movement values are
more or less accurate.
This seems to me like the problems caused by setting the wrong protocol for
ps/2/serial mice, but you can't choose the protocol for USB mice.
Any help on the matter would be appreciated. I have debugging output also, if
that would help.
Here's what I get on ums attach:
ums0: Gyration GyroPoint RF Technology Receiver, rev 1.10/1.20, addr 2, iclass
3
/1
ums0: 7 buttons and Z dir.
ums_attach: sc=0xc1faa000
ums_attach: X 8/8
ums_attach: Y 16/8
ums_attach: Z 24/8
ums_attach: B1 0/1
ums_attach: B2 1/1
ums_attach: B3 2/1
ums_attach: B4 3/1
ums_attach: B5 4/1
ums_attach: B6 32/1
ums_attach: B7 33/1
ums_attach: size=15, id=4
Thanks

If you are already in a hole, there's no use to continue
digging.
