Setup: X server with i3 as wm, nvidia card + driver from nvidia as well. Both mouse and keyboard are USB.

After starting X, everything seems to work, including keyboard. Mouse doesn't respond. Relevant line from logs:

Code:
[  4850.676] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Razer Razer DeathAdder (/dev/input/event0)

[  4850.810] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[  4850.810] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.


After a few searches on Google, the only relevant solution was to set

Code:
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED=y


But that didn't work for me. I'm kind of lost as to where to go next for debugging. Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Possibly relevant information. Listing /dev/input gives:

I am currently running into the same problem. I too am using the nvidia-drivers and a Razer Deathadder as mouse, although other mice also don't seem to work.
Maybe interesting to note is that the live environment also has the same problem. I am new to Gentoo so it might be very possible that the problem entirely exists between keyboard and chair.

Things I tried:
Enabled "Improved Transaction Translator scheduling" in kernel
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7168648.html
and to enable "CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED=y"

Disabling OHCI in kernel as this is replaced by ITTS according to a source I fail to find again.

Tried different xorg.conf settings as suggested by
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Advanced_Mouse

Tried a whole bunch more kernel settings as suggested by the answer over here:

Here's the logic:
- found mouse as /dev/input/event0
- applying mouse rules "evdev pointer catchall"
- /dev/input/even0 cannot work (i don't know myself why).


I think you can break this by modifying the "evdev pointer catchall" to not try to use anything, except the real mouse, as this event0 is not that good.
You need to find who provide this, and alter it to only works on the mouse itself.

As a blind guess, you can look into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/97-evdev.conf
In it, alter it so
Code:
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"

No more match any event, but only the one you wish

Code:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 15 15:38 usb-Razer_Razer_DeathAdder-mouse -> ../mouse0


So a
Code:
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse0"



This might solve your problem (well, more a workaround than a solve)

For me it doesn't seem to work, the error stays the same. I have tried both /event5 and /mouse0 (the two elements listed when I list /dev/input/by-id).

Sorry about that (remember i said "might").

What you could do (if you're in mood to still follow bad advises), is deleting the bad link. You know they are just symlinks create by the dev manager?
So a little "rm input0" (not really input0, it's input0 for OP, dunno for you, but the one that is showing the problem), as long as you don't unplug and replug the mouse, dev manager will stay blind to it, and will not recreate them.

So a little rm, follow by running xorg, if the mouse works, you know better who to blame : dev manager or the device.

If you wish more help (if previous test works), reporting your dev manager (and version), would be next step.
But for dev manager trouble, bugzilla should be more appropriate then.

I appreciate any kind of advice, as I am already out of ideas and randomly flipping switches and pressing buttons :)

rm'ing mouse0 and/or event5 does not seem to change anything, even the Xlog seems to be the same, so either I didn't actually delete the symlinks (they do show op red when ls -l)

Guess I should try different mice as my options are running out. My thinking is that if it is a kernel (module) issue, the live CD shouldn't have the same problem. Is that the right assumption to make? Anyway, I hope OP has more success than I do.

awwww, removing mouse0 symlink is certainly bad, it's not what i suggest you.

OP is reporting this:
[ 4850.810] (EE) evdev: Razer Razer DeathAdder: Unable to open evdev device "/dev/input/event0".

So the event0 (for him) is bad, but the mouse0 is not pointing at what event0 is pointing, and i suppose is pointing to the part that works (at least a part that xorg doesn't report as not working)
Code:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 15 15:38 usb-Razer_Razer_DeathAdder-event-mouse -> ../event0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 15 15:38 usb-Razer_Razer_DeathAdder-mouse -> ../mouse0


I don't know if event5 is bad for you, but you should look at your xorg and see where it fail, but removing mouse0 is a proof you didn't get what i said correctly.

And the (they do show op red) is really not good too.
If you symlink A->B (so A is a symlink of B).
if you remove B: than you have no B, and A is now shown in red (the symlink is pointing to something dead)
if you remove A: than B is there, and there's just no A. That's what i suggest you, remove the symlink.

I'm unsure what you have done, but for me, i think you've done everything exactly the worster you could have done it ;)
