Title:
  Wireless mouse shows up under `lsusb` list but doesn't control the
  cursor

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  What happens:

  Wireless mouse shows up under `lsusb` list but doesn't control the
  cursor.

  Expected behavior:

  The mouse controls the cursor.

  Background:

  I purchased a "Mini 2.4 GHz Wireless Optical Mini Finger Mouse Mice
  For Laptop PC Computers" (https://www.ebay.com/itm/283656756166) and
  plugged it into my laptop. Although this mouse appears under lsusb, it
  does not control the cursor. Other usb mice work, but not this one.
  Uniquely, this mouse uses a wireless dongle and some form of laser
  tracking, while my other peripherals are 'ordinary': a wired laster
  mouse and usb wired keyboard.

2022-05-12 Thread Daniel van Vugt
Thanks for the bug report.

This sounds like a hardware problem, most likely just new batteries are
required.

Wired mice or wireless with a dongle use the same code paths so clearly
that's working for some mice. I don't think there's any software bug
here.

** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)
