 |

Last night I upgraded my laptop from x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev from 1.2 to 1.99.2. All was working fine under 1.2.
Now I am unable to use my external Logitech MX310 USB mouse as it freezes X.
I'm trying to let HAL handle everything but the Synaptics touchpad. I know HAL is working as it sets my keyboard to Dvorak perfectly in X. I have enabled evdev debugging output in the kernel and all looks fine there.
When I plug in the USB mouse, Xorg.log gets:
| Code: | (**) Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse: always reports core events
(**) Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/event7"
(II) Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse: Found x and y relative axes
(II) Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse: Found mouse buttons
(II) Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse: Configuring as mouse
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse" (type: MOUSE) |
then X freezes. If I plug in my USB mouse before startx, X will not start.
Relevant xorg.conf areas:
| Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout[all]"
...
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" "SendCoreEvents"
...
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "UseShm" "true"
EndSection |
No other InputDevice sections in xorg.conf.
I even tried re-compiling xorg-server.
I've done so much diagnostics, I'm inclined to file a bug report unless someone has other ideas. |

From the changelog for the 1.99.2 bump; | Quote: | | Bump. This reverts a lot of code and goes back to a driver based off the 1.1 series. It's apparently intended to now satisfy the basic input needs instead of doing everything and replacing drivers like synaptics. |
I think that would kind of explain what you're experiencing (although it shouldn't lock up X), and also there is a reason the ebuild was masked...
See if you get the same behaviour with evdev 1.1.5?

| Portage reverted back to 1.2 in ~amd64. 1.99.2 really didn't like the USB mouse. |

I have a daul display (laptop with monitor plugged in). With the 1.99.2-r1 I lose access to the second screen. I reverted back to 1.2 and it was restored.
