it looks that after update to 2.6.5 kernel (debian source package but
I guess it would be the same with stock 2.6.5) the mouse wheel and side
button on Logitech Cordless MouseMan Wheel mouse do not work.
Here's the most basic/simple situation/symptoms:
I stop X, read bytes from /dev/psaux (c program, using open and
read). for each mouse action there are few bytes read, usually number
(depends on action), 8 (almost all the time, at least for clicks)), few
zeros. I don't have exact log but here's what it looked like:
left click: some number, 8, 0, 0
middle click: some number, 8, 0, 0
right click: some number, 8, 0, 0
side button: middle click number, 8, 0, 0
wheel clockwise: 8, 0, 0
wheel counterclockwise: 8, 0, 0
exact numbers don't matter (I think), the point is that it is not
possible to tell side button click from middle click and the wheel
rotation sends same info no matter in which direction the wheel is
rotated, it seems to miss the first byte that in case of other buttons
tells what's going on.
BTW X windows is confused in the same way (I guess because that's
what it gets from kernel driver - using xev I found that it thinks the
sidebutton is button 2 and that turning the wheel is not an event at all).
any ideas how to make kernel understand the mouse better? or is this
a kernel bug? I've read that kernel now interprets the mouse protocol -
but there doesn't seem to be a way to indicate to kernel which protocol
to use...
system:
debian unstable
kernel-source-2.6.5
logitech cordless mouseMan wheel
mouse connected via /dev/psaux
mouse related kernel config:
#
# Userland interfaces
#
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1280
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX_ENABLE=y

CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=m
# CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG is not set
...
#
# Input Device Drivers
#
...
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
the mouse used to work with 2.2 and 2.4 kernels.

I've got a new mouse with a wheel, and I've got the same problem,
though I can't tell if it was working before...

Could you provide me with the program so that I can test too ?

Got the same : wheel is no-op :-(
I guess I should try a stock 2.4.x kernel to see if it working or
not...

I've got 4 PCs all with logitech cordless optical mice.. all work
perfectly with Gentoo dev sources 2.6.5.. as well as 2.6.3, 2.6.1 etc

it's very simple, just gcc and run it from console, I guess you should
quit X before running it, ctrl-c to exit:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
int main(void)
{
unsigned char buf[10];
unsigned char last;
unsigned long counter = 0;
int fd = open("/dev/psaux", O_RDONLY);
if(fd == -1) { perror("couldn't open file"); exit(1); }
while(read(fd, buf, 1) != -1) {
if( (last == 0) && (buf[0] != 0) ) {
printf("\n[%010d] ", counter);
}
printf("[%03d] ", buf[0]);
last = buf[0];
counter++;
}
return 0;
}
/* eof */

can you please send:
- related parts kernel config
- usb or ps2 port?
- which device (/dev/input or /dev/psaux or...)
is it stock kernel or does gentoo provide any patches?

this laptop has a usb cordless optical notebook mouse. I have 3 desktops
using optical cordless but PS2 (2 of them share the
mouse/keyboard/monitor through a switch)

usb/psaux here.. cant check on the others right now.

gentoo provides patches, but they have worked as above since 2.6.1 or
2.6.3 in the case of the laptop (its new)

USB mice? USB is the same as it was in 2.4, it's PS/2 that changed.

Try my patch for 2.6.5: http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/4/20/10
Build psmouse into a module (for easier testing) and insert it with the proto
parameter. I'd say "modprobe psmouse proto=exps" works for you, but you might
want to try imps and ps2pp too. The reason I wrote the patch in the first
place was that a lot of PS/2 Logitech mice refused to work (and yes, exps
works for me and others)....

What worked for me is to make a change to my XF86Config:
use /dev/psaux for the mouse device, and choose "ExplorerPS/2"
for the mouse protocol (I previously used "MouseManPlusPS/2").

didn't help, I still see (without X running):
8, 0, 0 any button down
9, 0, 0 left button up
12, 0, 0 wheel up, sidebutton up
10, 0, 0 right button up
8, 0, 0 wheel rotation (any direction)
except of some protocols (IIRC ps2pp, bare, genps) ignore wheel
completely. is there any way to verify which protocol the mouse is
using? modprobe -v printed different messages for each protocol so I
think that worked (it said Generic Explorer etc.)
I tried: exps, imps, ps2pp, bare, genps
any ideas?
the mouse says: Cordless MouseMan Wheel (Logitech), it has left/right
buttonss, wheel that can be pushed or rotated and a side button, not
sure how to better identify it. With 2.4 kernels it used to work with X
using protocol MouseManPlusPS/2.

IMPS/2 here:
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

anybody? any hints? should I look at driver? are there some docs for
logitech mice (protocol)?

which kernel (mine doesn't work with 2.6.5, used to work with 2.4.x),
which mouse models? I guess there might be more models and for some
reason my particular model does not work. Can you find out which
protocol the kernel is using (psmouse, not usb)?

Check your kernel logs (/var/log/messages perhaps). Grepping for "psmouse"
will help you find the relevant part.

didn't find anything for psmouse but found these in dmesg output
after doing modprobe psmouse with difeferent protocols (you can see I
was trying different protocols, none of them worked (turning wheel
doesn't work, sidebutton is same as middle button):

So your mouse pretty much can work with any protocol... Now could you please
re-load the module without any parameters and post the output of
"cat /proc/bus/input/devices"
Also compile evbug module, insert it in the kernel (with psmouse loaded as
well), hit all buttons again and post the excerpt of dmesg with evbug data.
I want to make sure that your button is not identified correctly as opposed
to some data lost in protocol transformation.
What protocol are you using in XFree?

it does NOT work with any protocol.
there are two problems:
wheel:
turning of the wheel in both direction produces 8, 0, 0 (which seems
to mean any button down), all other buttons produces 8, 0, 0 on button
down and x, 0, 0 on button up (x depends on button).
side button: produces exactly same numbers as middle button (clicking
the wheel, 12, 0, 0 on button up).
that's with most protocols, some protocols (ps2pp, bare, genps)
ignore the wheel completely (as far as I can tell that's OK)

ok, I'll try that (have nobody to push the mouse buttons right now)

that's irrelevant, I got the results above without X running (by
reading /dev/psaux). In case it might shed some light anyway, here's the
X info: protocol is MouseManPlusPS/2, it worked with kernel 2.4.x. Now
(with 2.6.5) X reports same results as you see above (using xev I see
the wheel is no event, side button is button 2, just like wheel click)

No, it is not. Please change protocol in XF86Config to ExplorerPS/2.

Kernel only provides emulation of 3 protocols via /dev/psaux: bare PS/2,
IntelliMouse PS/2 and Explorer PS/2. Since your program does not issue
Intellimouse or Explorer protocol initialization sequences it gets just
bare PS/2 protocol data - 2 axis, 3 buttons. Extra buttons are mapped onto
first 3. For exact mapping consult drivers/input/mousedev.c

thanks, that makes sense, I tried ExplorerPS/2, it works better, the
wheel works but side button is still same as button 2.
would it be different if I used /dev/input/mouse0? or
/dev/input/mice? kernel Documentation/input/input.txt seems to be
fairly old (mentions 2.5/2.6 in future tense) and it says to use
"ExplorerPS/2 if you want to use extra (up to 5) buttons" when
discussing what /dev/input/mouse0 provides. Does that mean that there's
no way to use extra side button (which is the sixth button)?

Yes, at this time you can't use the sixth button in X with a 2.6 kernel.
An event driver for X would be needed instead of the ExplorerPS/2 one.
