I have two machines - both with radeons, both using sysmouse one of
which suffers the problem described the other does not. The one that works
is using 1.2.1. I hadn't noticed because I always use the keyboard and
mouse form that machine with x2x.

finally we have a data point!

I can't reproduce this because I only have USB mice.  Could somebody
else try to bisect xf86-input-mouse to find the problematic commit?

I have had the same problem recently. I fixed it by downgrading
x11/xf86-input-mouse.

I am now using xf86-input-mouse-1.2.1 with sysmouse, and all is fine.

My problem with "/dev/sysmouse" is that my mouse pointer will go to
upper left corner and can't move anymore.  This can easily be
reproduced by trying to select a bootmark entry in firefox "bookmarks"
manual.  After I switched to use "/dev/psm0", the problem seems to go
away.

I had the same issue with sysmouse but my video is i810.  This started
when I switched to modular xorg.  I haven't tried to use sysmouse lately
so don't know if I'm seeing the same thing now.  Next time I start
Xorg it will be with sysmouse so I'll report here.

moused + modular xorg 'sticking' ?

2007-11-07 Thread Chris Turner

Hello all -

fishing for similar experiences -

has anyone had any problems with ps2 mice getting 'stuck' under X?

just updated my 1.8 laptop to -HEAD before the Hammer work started
+ 2007Q3 Pkgsrc (modular-xorg-server-1.3.0) this seems to happen,
but only when using sysmouse or perhaps even sysmouse with radeon..

I tried several variations of acpi/noacpi/sysmouse/psm/radeon/vesa
and even reverted to the previous 1.24 psm.c, but it seems like
only using the direct /dev/psm0 will work 100% with this particular
combination since the upgrade.. or perhaps this is something in xorg
(was previously on monolithic 2007Q1 build)

In any case, since there's so many factors need to do more tests to zero
in on this for sure, but thought I'd ask..

Thanks,

- Chris

Hey,

like every year a couple of the regulars will meet up at the 24th Chaos
Communication Congress (24c3) [1] of the Chaos Computer Club [2] in
Berlin.  The Chaos Communication Congress THE annual hackers' conference
in Europe and has become really international in the last years.

This is just an [early] heads up for anybody who is thinking about
coming there as well.  Flights are still cheap and hostels might be
still available, so get started!

The schedule has not been published yet, but I am sure it will be
interesting as every year.

So who is coming?  I am for sure (just booked the flight).

See you in Berlin (if you're up for it!)
