I noticed that dragging icons, frames or windows in KDE is really slow. Reloading the usb module ohci-hcd helps for the usb mouse. For the trackpad (iBookG3) I did'nt find a solution. Killing mouseemu solves the problem for all.
Are there any messages in dmesg? Perhaps it's writing many error messages or you have event debugging on. I'm not sure I understand the problem though: Clicking and dragging is slow, but killing mouseemu fixes the problem? Or do you need to reload the usb modules *and* kill mouseemu? Which version of mouseemu?
> Clicking and dragging is slow, but killing mouseemu fixes the problem? Or do > you need to reload the usb modules *and* kill mouseemu? I boot the machine (iBookG3-600Dualusb) with mouse plugged in and mousemu started then one of the following does help: 1. unplug the mouse and plug in again 2. reload ohci-hcd or 3. killall mouseemu Your other questions I will answer soon.
Sorry it's a way late. To your questions: dmesg doesn't show something about mouseemu. I have a lot of lines like: IN from bad port 64 at c01517bc IN from bad port 64 at c01517bc IN from bad port 64 at c01517bc IN from bad port 64 at c01517bc But I have them every time in the beginning of dmesg, also without mouseemu. Then mouseemu has it's own log: mouseemu 0.12 (C) Colin Leroy <colin@colino.net> using (0+68) as middle button, (0+87) as right button, (56) as scroll. using /dev/uinput. Trying to open /dev/uinput... ok. cleaning... Right now I deleted mouseemu from runlevel, when using usb-mouse it isn't usefull. After I start it manually the problem appears: mouse behaves more slowly especially when dragging frames and icons. As I said concerning the usb-mouse it helps to replug it, or reload the usb-modules. For the pad I didn't find a workaround.
Those errors in your dmesg are from the legacy PC/AT keyboard driver, turn it off and these errors will go away. The options you're looking for are: Device Drivers -> Input Devices -> Hardware I/O Ports -> < > Serial I/O Support Do you have the ADB mouse button emulation enabled as well as using mouseemu?
(In reply to comment #4) > Do you have the ADB mouse button emulation enabled as well as using mouseemu? Oh, i found it: ADB emulation is also enabled, yes, and works well.
Since you're using mouseemu, can you try disabiling the kernel mousebutton emulation while you're using mouseemu? See if that helps at all.
Please reopen the bug if that didn't fix the issue for you.
