Subject: usb mouse and 2.5.56bk

Greg,

Something strange with 2.5.56. My usb mouse is no longer working
after boot. I can get it to work by repluging it. Here is my
dmesg ang the init.d/local that should make sure the modules needed
are loaded. Before tring to replug I unloaded and reloaded hid and
psmouse to see if this would fix things (it did not).

I suspect the changeset below:

[email protected], 2003-01-09 10:29:40-08:00, [email protected]

which got added just before .56 - I have been tracking bk fairly
closely and all was working up to the version of 55bk built at 8am
on the 9th.

Ideas?
Ed Tomlinson

I'm getting a "Bad file descriptor" right now... (was just trying to pull 2.5.57)

Regards
Josh

linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5 says "Cannot find the project root".
Can you send the patch, or refer to it somehow? BK is a wonderful
tool, but only when it works.

Hm, that single changeset only modified the ehci driver, which should
not bother your USB mouse at all, unless it's a USB 2.0 mouse :)

It looks like from your logs that the usb core saw a bunch of devices.
What does /proc/bus/usb/devices look like after booting, when your mouse
is not working? The log also shows that a usb mouse was found by the
hid driver and bound to it, so I don't know why it wouldn't be working.

thanks,

I used tar on my sysfs mount point (this did not work cleanly...) and have
attached the tar and the dmesg log from the boot. The last message in
the log, which is from hid, was produced after the tar, when I replugged
the mouse.

Kernel is now 2.5.58.

Ok, I think I've duplicated this here, and have a patch from Pat Mochel
that might fix it, but need to test. I'll let you know what I find (if
you want, go add a bug at bugme.osdl.org for this to get updates on the
status of this problem.)

thanks,
