Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Under Ubuntu 8.10, my Kensington pocket mouse, model #72237, does not
move the cursor. (The buttons and wheel work, just not X or Y movement.)
This is a wireless mouse with a USB dongle, USB ID 0d62:1000. The kernel
recognizes the
Update: After doing some more digging, I grow increasingly suspicious
that the root cause is not in evdev, but rather in HAL. It looks like
HAL may be reporting the wrong thing and then evdev just acts on the bad
information. (Please see the attached lshal output.)
I'm not sure about this analysis
In my previous comment, please s/less mouse-like/more mouse-like/ .
I have managed to make the lshal output look convincingly mouse-like by
creating a file /etc/hal/fdi/information/00kensington.fdi which removes
'input.keys' and 'button' from the 'info.capabilities' like, thus:
i
The reason evdev is confused is that, apparently, ioctl(fd, EVIOCGBIT,
EV_KEY, ...) is returning capabilities that don't match the actual
device in question. (Come to think of it, EV_ABS coming back with
something for a mouse is odd, too.)
I'm not sure if the right solution is to add something to
Tested; doesn't seem to break anything, but doesn't fix my problem
either. With the patch in place, the mouse is now being categorized as a
mouse and not a keyboard:

Here are the comments that I meant to apply to the above patch; they
somehow didn't "take":
Okay, got it. The attached patch makes my Kensington pocket mouse work
again, and doesn't break any of the other input devices I have sitting
around. (Caveat: I have no touchscreens.)
The basic ideas are:

Manually removing the /usr/share/help/si/ubuntu-help/accounts-disable-

able to re-run "apt-get upgrade" with no errors.
