Hi,
I am having a very frustrating time getting my Logitech MX1000 mouse to work with X.org. I've read all of these:

and of course,

I have evdev support compiled into my kernel. I can show this here. (Ignore the errors)
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# strings /usr/X11R6/bin/X | grep evdev
evdevStart
evdevNewDriver
evdevGetFDForDriver
%s: cannot register with evdev brain
%s: cannot start evdev brain
evdev
evdev
%s: cannot register with evdev brain
%s: cannot start evdev brain
/tmp/.X11-unix/evdev%d
evdev brain

Here is the output of /proc/bus/input/devices. I have omitted the other devices.
| Code: |
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c50e Version=2500
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.1-2/input0
H: Handlers=mouse0 event2
B: EV=17
B: KEY=ffff0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=143
B: MSC=10
|
Notice where it says "event2"; that handler is from evdev, and i have correctly set it in my xorg.conf.
Here is the mouse section of my xorg.conf.
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
Option "Dev Phys" "usb-0000:00:1d.2-2/input0"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
Option "Buttons" "12"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "11 12"
Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection

As you can see, my kernel supports evdev, and I have properly declared my device location and name. So I would expect this to work. However, X fails to start consistantly as long as I am using the evdev protocal. It sucessfully starts consistantly as long as I am not using the evdev protocal, and am using PS/2 or IMPS/2. This leads me to believe that there is something wrong with my evdev! If you look at one of the threads I linked to, you will find that another Gentoo user, mensan, had problems getting evdev to work:

well, i had to go to the ExplorerPS\2 protocol for hotplugging to work.
i assume that IMPS\2 would work as well, but i just couldnt get evdev to hotplug.

Here he says that he could not get evdev to hotplug. Now, I cannot say that I understand the statement "get it to hotplug". I have coldplug installed, but since evdev is a protocal and not a device, what is there to hotplug? Linux correctly loads the driver for mice on boot, and if you look at my output regarding evdev, it should be working. I must be missing something here... is there some other option I need in the kernel? Or does it have to do with coldplug? What else can I do?
Any help is greatly appriciated. Thank you.  |

Typo, note that you should only have one 2.

Alternatively,
| Code: | | Option "Dev Phys" "usb-*/input0" |
works fine also.

Amazing.
Thanks, that did the trick. Funny how it's usually one tiny thing that brings down the whole system. |
