Chesen ps/2 usb adapter: fourth mouse button not working

[Harald Dunkel <harald.dunkel@t-online.de>]

Hi folks,

I've got a Logitech Trackman FX connected to my PC via a
Chesen ps/2 usb adapter for mouse and keyboard. Problem: The
fourth mouse button doesn't trigger any events. This means
that I cannot enable scroll wheel emulation in the X mouse
driver, for example. It is a severe restriction.

I had opened a bug report for the Xorg mouse driver, but a low
level test program running outside of X showed that this
seems to be a problem in the kernel.

Kernel is 2.6.31.4. The same Trackman FX works fine connected
to a PC with a "real" ps/2 port (using the same kernel, of
course).


It would be very nice if this could be fixed. Of course I would
be glad to help.


Many thanx

Harri
