Hi, I had completely forgotten this bug. I still have MS Wireless Keyboard+Mouse, so I can test. Today, I'm using the gentoo distribution kernel : gentoo-kernel- bin-6.1.129 With this kernel, the problem is gone. You can see output of /proc/bus/input/devices : > $ grep -A 4 'Microsoft Wireless' /proc/bus/input/devices > N: Name="Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop® 2.10" > P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.6/input0 > S: > Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.6/1-1.6:1.0/0003:045E:009D.0002/input/input5 > U: Uniq= > H: Handlers=kbd leds event2 > -- > N: Name="Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop® 2.10" > P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.6/input1 > S: > Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.6/1-1.6:1.1/0003:045E:009D.0003/input/input6 > U: Uniq= > H: Handlers=kbd mouse0 event3 To make test for this bug, I rebuilt the exact same kernel with this patch reversed. When rebooting on it, the problem reappeared : > $ grep -A 4 'Microsoft Wireless' /proc/bus/input/devices > N: Name="Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop® 2.10" > P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.6/input0 > S: > Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.6/1-1.6:1.0/0003:045E:009D.0002/input/input5 > U: Uniq= > H: Handlers=kbd leds event2 > -- > N: Name="Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop® 2.10" > P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.6/input1 > S: > Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.6/1-1.6:1.1/0003:045E:009D.0003/input/input6 > U: Uniq= > H: Handlers=kbd mouse0 event3 js0 So, I can say that this patch fixed the problem for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390959 Title: 045e:00b0 Microsoft keyboard and 045e:0745 nano transceiver recognised as joystick - interferes with some games Status in Linux: Confirmed Status in Linux Mint: New Status in NULL Project: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard interferes with certain games. Ubuntu seems to see the keyboard as a joystick control. Package Joystick Calibrator 1.5.6 confirms by listing Microsoft Digital Media Pro Keyboard as a joystick device on /dev/input/js0 Behaviour includes taking over control of any joystick enabled games and continuously pushing control to the left or causing a menu selection to continuously move down or up. Affected games that I know of so far include Tux racer, Alex the Alligator, Track mania Nations forever (wine) and Final Fantasy 8 (wine). A workaround is to run Joystick Calibrator, click on Calibrate and save settings. This seems to 'calibrate' the keyboard properly and stops it from interfering with games. Ubuntu version is 9.04. Wine is version 1.1.24.
