Fabulously.
Now, attaching your xorg.conf, your fdi input settings
and xorg log would be nice

Same bug here. Also some more info: Simple Logitech mouse works (pid HS84212), but a4Tech X7 (s/n 090500283) refuses to, so mouse-dependent bug.
Comment 3 PM 2009-10-21 10:13:19 UTC
I confirm. I have a4tech X7 mouse too. It looks like moving the mouse up and down works, but moving it sideways jumps the cursor to the bottom of the screen.

A cheap wireless no-name mouse work well.

My xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"                   
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0     
#       InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
#       InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection                                       

Section "Files"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/"

What are "fdi input settings"?

Does 'xinput test' ran on the mouse show anything interesting
(like a wrongly mapped button/axis) ?

I'm quite sure my problem is related: even though the mouse is not really jumping around chaotically with 2.3.0, it is jumping straight down a random amount whenever I move the mouse horizontally but not vertically.

mouse buttons are mapped properly and there's nothing out of the ordinary in any log either. the only curiousity is xinput test showing 3 axis instead of 2:


motion a[1]=2 a[2]=0 
motion a[1]=1 a[2]=0 
motion a[1]=1 a[2]=0 
motion a[1]=1 a[2]=0 
motion a[0]=2 a[1]=626 a[2]=64078 
motion a[1]=2 a[2]=-64078 
motion a[1]=1 a[2]=0 
motion a[1]=1 a[2]=0 
motion a[1]=1 a[2]=0 
motion a[1]=1 a[2]=0

Same here with A4Tech X-750F. In addition getting error next error message in Xorg.0.log:

Please file a bug upstream [1] and paste the URL here so I can track the issue.

Let's track the bug upstream directly.

Closing with the correct resolution.

Yep, mask it :)

with Xserver 1.7.1 evdev 2.2.5 don compile. Yesterday I made the experiment with two mouse and found that problem remained with A4tech X7

xorg-setver 1.7.1 won't even work with evdev <= 2.3.0.
So the solution is to downgrade xorg as well, what i couldn't did neither :D
On upstream bugtracker is silence.
Comment 16 Dmitriy Baranov 2009-11-04 21:07:23 UTC
Same problem. A4Tech X7.

X7 works fine with USE -hal.
Comment 18 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-05 15:36:56 UTC
Please comment in the _upstream_ bug. The more of you go there, the better chance you'll have of getting this fixed.

There's absolutely nothing to be done here.

Thanks
Comment 19 Bartosz Brachaczek 2009-11-09 13:53:32 UTC
In case someone wants to use evdev-2.3.0, not 2.2.5 for some reason, I attach a tarball with modified ebuild and a small (bit really dirty) hack that makes X-750F work again. Simply unpack this to your PORTDIR_OVERLAY (probably /usr/local/portage) and emerge.

Nvm, I hadn't read fd.o bug mail yet.

Thanks

To clarify things, the tarball attached here contains an ebuild AND a patch, but not a proper patch - just a dirty workaround. After posting this hack here, I found a real bug and sent a real patch to fd.o.

It's my own patch. If the ebuild attached here works for you, you don't need this new patch. When upstream will commit a proper patch, probably some dev would put it into the portage tree.

Same problem here... I have a microsoft wireless laser v5000 mouse, and many times it jumes on the upper left corner of the screen. BUT, when i check the X.log, i get this:

...(same error)
Mouse0: dropping event due to full queue!
Mouse0: dropping event due to full queue!
Mouse0: dropping event due to full queue!
...(same error)

I get this, everytime the mouse "jumps"...

Did you try ebuild attached here? Probably it's an unrelated bug, though introduced in the same commit (previously there were no queues in evdev). If the ebuild attached here doesn't help you (almost certainly it won't), report this bug upstream ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg ).
