Description Thomas Bettler 2007-02-06 13:25:08 UTC

I just updated to gentoo-sources-2.6.20 and my ps/2 mouse refuses to work.
The device file doesn't recieve anything. However on bootup PS/2 mouse is identified correctly and udev manages it fine.
The bug has to be in gentoo-sources, as with older kernel versions (2.6.18) it works fine.
I noticed, there was a similar bug in 2.6.19 already as gentoo-sources applies a patch to drivers/Makefile, which causes the defect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gentoo-sources on a box with PS/2 mouse.
2. Reboot
3. cat /dev/input/mouse0
Actual Results:  
mouse recognized, but not receiving anything

Expected Results:  
mouse should move

from dmesg:
PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:KBD,PNP0f13:MOU] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1,12
serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input3

Maybe related to bug #157493

Comment 2 Thomas Bettler 2007-02-06 13:28:16 UTC

Will probably have a look at it tomorrow night and see if I can provide a fix for it...

Please test gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r6
Also use /dev/input/mice rather than mouse0

Comment 4 Thomas Bettler 2007-02-06 21:56:13 UTC

Thank you for the hint, doesn't help.
Forgot to mention that in xorg.conf I specified /dev/input/mice.

Comment 5 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

So gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r6 is also known broken?

Comment 6 Thomas Bettler 2007-02-07 12:03:27 UTC

Checked gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r6 which seems to work fine,
so does the vanilla-sources-2.6.20 kernel.

So I guess the bug is caused by some patch applied to gentoo-sources-2.6.20

Comment 7 Thomas Bettler 2007-02-07 12:06:09 UTC

Created attachment 109420 [details]
kernel/.config

For both kernel 2.6.20 (gentoo and vanilla) I used the same config,
can't think the bug is there, but in case it might matter I posted the config here

Comment 8 Thomas Bettler 2007-02-07 12:07:31 UTC

Created attachment 109422 [details, diff]
kernel.diff

and here the diff for both kernels, only containing some FB relevant changes.

oops, accidentally readded a bad drivers/Makefile hunk in the speakup patch for 2.6.20

Comment 10 Thomas Bettler 2007-02-07 18:31:35 UTC

I guess that was it.
Reverting drivers/Makefile with 4400_speakup-20070204.patch solved this issue.

Thank you for the hint. Works for me now, I leave it up to you to fix & close this bug.

Fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r1
