Seems like it's not an udev or X problem - kernel thinks it found a joystick: it has an entry 'js0' in '/sys/class/input'. Moreover it reports two interface descriptors for the device (as seen in attached 'lsusb -v -d 09da:8090' output). One for mouse and another one for ... keyboard. When I tried to look at the events evtest was able to capture for the corresponding to the 'js0' '/dev/input/eventN' device node it showed a long list of key events with different codes (along with joystick events). I was once even able to receive some events by clicking on the mouse whell - and couldn't reproduce it later. So this is probably just another buggy A4Tech device (afaik there are already a couple of quirks in the kernel for their HID devices).
PS: I have an A4Tech X7 mouse but the symptoms are quite the same. It even has the same USB ids. ** Attachment added: "lsusb output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/713556/+attachment/2158626/+files/a4tech-lsusb.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/713556 Title: Sharkoon Fireglider mouse is wrongly detected as a joystick -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
