Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
When using a MS Wireless 5000 mouse configured with evdev, tilting the wheel to the right which should be a button event kills the xorg server. Relevant part of the xorg.conf : --------- Paste # this is the evdev version of the mouse declaration Section "InputDevice" Identifier "MS Wireless 5000" Driver "evdev" option "device" "/dev/input/event2" # option "device" "/dev/input/mouse0" # Using the link doesn't work ?? # option "device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Microsoft_Microsoft_Wireless_Optical_Mouse_1.00-mouse" option "CorePointer" # Reference by name only below doesn't seem to work # option "name" "Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse® 1.00" option "Phys" "usb-0000:00:1a.7-3.1.2/input0" option "Buttons" "9" option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection ------------- End Paste I also tried using the "mouse" driver, letting it pick the protocol (it picked PS/2) which didn't work, then picking USB which seemed appropriate but the mouse driver didn't know what to make of it. When the X server fails, it outputs the following message (from Xorg.0.log) --------------- paste Fatal server error: Bad valuators reported for device MS Wireless 5000 (II) MS Wireless 5000: Off -------------- End paste I reported this as being from evdev as it seems to be a bug that has been nailed in xfree : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14342 but might not have trickled down to production versions yet. I didn't see that many references to that thing, let me know if you need more details. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Right mouse wheel tilt kills xorg https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229229 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
