Be careful here Hazel! Remember, after the patch, you are booting a newer kernel with *tons* of other changes. If I had to bet at this point, my money would go on that one of the *other* 4.15 changes caused your mouse problem - that you are seeing two different problems. For example, something like: https://aeolus.tk/viewtopic.php?id=236253 Sometimes newer kernels subtly change the names of devices or report their capabilities differently. So, it's not a necessarily "bug", yet. Use xinput list to list all the input devices to Xorg. Find the id number for your mouse. Then, using that id number, call (I've used id=9 below): xinput list-props 9 do you notice anything different in the output of xinput list-props between the 4.14 and 4.15 kernels? Are you running the gpm daemon to provide mouse text console (no Xorg) cut and paste features?: ps -aef | grep gpm which might reveal a command like like: /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/psaux -t imps2 -r 45 -Rraw (or /dev/mouse, /dev/input/mice, etc.) The -Rraw option passes the data to /dev/gpmdata so that the X server can pickup on that so that you can use the mouse under the text console as well as Xorg. If you don't run gpm, you can try to install/start/use it under the text console to see if the movement and center button paste functions work. You can use midnight commander (/usr/bin/mc) to test if the left button and scroll wheel work under (with gpm in a text console). If your mouse works fine under the console, but not Xorg, then Xorg might just need a settings tweak under the newer kernel. Does Xorg complain any in its log about the mouse? If all also fails, you can try kernel bisecting all over again - each time using the ioremap.c fix, of course. LOL!
