Bug 404313 – x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1 breaks input devices?

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Marcus Becker 2012-02-17 21:55:34 UTC]

If I upgrade to >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1
Xorg starts fine, but my mouse is stuck between 50% of my laptop screen
I use displaylink and void + x2x for my external monitor and two instances of Xorg
attached is the Xorg.0.log with the new driver

reverting back to x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-290.10-r2 resolves the problem

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade to x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1
2. rmmod or reboot
3. start X
Actual Results:  
mouse or input is stuck on the left 50% of the laptop screen

Expected Results:  
whole laptop screen and switch input between Xorg instances...

I tested without any external screen or keyboard and the same happens

[Comment 4 Marcus Becker 2012-03-20 00:45:40 UTC]

Any update? Am I the only one?

In the meantime I cannot update Xorg or evdev anymore:
  (x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) conflicts with
    <x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.99 required by (x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-290.10-r2::gentoo, installed)

and:
  (x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.99.901 required by (x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.7.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)

Unfortunately I don't have a DisplayLink device. I also haven't seen any reports on the forums about this. Your best bet is to run nvidia-bug-report.sh and send the results to [e-mail]. The last issue you've observed has been fixed in the tree.

[Comment 6 Marcus Becker 2012-03-25 22:52:39 UTC]

This is not DisplayLink related, as I stated above. I disconnected all devices but the pure laptop display, keyboard and touchpad. The same happened with nvidia-drivers-295.x
the new evdev-2.7.0 builds fine against gentoo-sources-3.2.12 now.
nvidia-drivers-290.10-r2 fail against gentoo-sources-3.3.0

I am going to look for nvidia bug reports tomorrow, thanks :)

Perhaps it is related to this very old bug? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30344

Pretty good guess.

Have you contacted upstream Marcus or has this resolved itself for you?

[Comment 9 Marcus Becker 2012-07-22 22:19:07 UTC]

Sorry, I didn't update. In the meantime I use my AMD card again and cannot reproduce the problem.

Alright well as long as you have a workaround then I guess that's ok.
