Problem with Acer Bluetooth Optical Rechargeable Mouse

Problem with Acer Bluetooth Optical Rechargeable Mouse

[Lamarque Vieira Souza]

	Hi,

	As requested by Marcel Holtmann I am sending this e-mail to the linux-input 
mailing list so we can sort out one problem I have with my bluetooth mouse. 
Since kernel 2.6.28 my bluetooth mouse (0458:0058) makes Xorg cursor to get 
stucked at upper left corner of the screen. Even if I use the touchpad of my 
notebook (Acer Ferrari 4005) the cursor still gets trapped at upper left 
corner. One workaround I have found for this problem is change session type 
from hid to input in linux/net/bluetooth/hidp/core.c. Marcel does not like 
this idea so I need help to find a better way to solve this problem.

	One think I have discovered is that when using hid session the mouse send 
several 9-bytes frames with this content:  0x05 0xff 0x6e 0x6f 0x54 0xc6 0x10 
0x00 0x02 (or 0x03 instead of 0x02). If I filter those frames in 
hidp_recv_intr_frame (linux/net/bluetooth/hidp/core.c) before calling 
hid_input_report, the cursor does not get stucked but the overhead of doing 
that is too high, the cursor gets sluggish. Using input session instead of hid 
session gets muth better results and is not as uggly as filtering frames. Can 
someone help me to find a better solution?

Hi,

we'd need to know a little bit more to be able to interpret that data 
packet. Could you please

- compile the kernel with CONFIG_HID_DEBUG option set
- modprobe the 'hid' module with 'debug=2' option

and provide the dmesg output that appears when the device is 
connected (so that we have contents of the HID report descriptor and 
kernel interpretation of it) and also after the data packet containing the 
mentioned sequence has been received?

Thanks,

	Hi, 

	Here is the dmesg output. The mouse constantly emmits those 9-bytes frames 
even if I do not touch it, which probably is why it also affects my notebook's 
touchpad.

Hi, 

what kernel is this? The log seems to be very incomplete. What I am 
missing the most is

- report descriptor dump and interpretation (we can see that the report 
  descriptor has been successfully parsed at 408673.371808, but we don't 
  see the descriptor dump before -- maybe it scrolled away already?)
- The interpretation of input data is missing (no "hid-input" line as 
  result of hid_dump_input() being called through 
  hid_input_field()->hid_process_event()). Are you sure you have modprobe 
  the hid module with 'debug=2' parameter?

	I use kernel 2.6.30.4.	hid is built-in here, the dmesg output was created 
using 'echo 1 > /sys/module/hid/parameters/debug', sorry. This new dmesg 
output was created using 'echo 2> /sys/module/hid/parameters/debug' and 64k 
buffer.

	Actually there is an error in the patch I sent in my last e-mail, this one 
works (just one line change patch :-)). It was more simpler fix than I have 
thought.

The debugging output was better, still it didn't contain enough 
information for me to find out what exactly is happening (probably too 
small buffer still?).

	I do not think so, the last debugging output also covers some seconds before 
I switch the bluetooth mouse on. This mouse is problematic, in Windows XP 
installed on my notebook it is sluggish, in Windows 7 installed in my 
brother's notebook it is over accelerated (?!). Only when using input session 
in Linux it works as expected, or almost as expected, sometimes the cursor 
moves to the upper-left corner, but that is not often and I can live with 
that.

	Well, I think my USB hub has confused you. I have this USB hub, which has 
three USB 1.1 ports and two PS/2 ports, each PS/2 port is mapped to a HID 
device in Linux. I also have a PS/2 keyboard attached to one of those PS/2 
ports and it is it that is sending the keyboards events in the dmesg output. 
Even disconnecting the USB does not help, actually I bought this USB this year 
and I have this problem in Linux for more than two years (since hid session 
was made default instead of input session in kernel 2.6.22). I have this 
notebook for almost four years and since the begining input session has always 
worked as expected, better than in Windows too.

	To make things clearer to see I restarted my notebook, disconnected the USB 
hub, see the attached dmesg output. Lines 2660.752077 until 2666.779123 shows 
the bluetooth controller being activated. Even though there is a timeout here 
it works after 10 to 15 seconds after pressing bluetooth switch on button. 
After controller was turned on I switched on the mouse, line 2711.077714 is 
the first one that shows something about the mouse.

	Any news about my last patch? It is just one line only, could you add it to

Hi,

could you please resend your patch? It has either been lost somewhere on 
the way, or in the dark depths of my inbox, so I am not really sure which 
one you are referring to, sorry.

Marks Acer Bluetooth Optical Rechargeable Mouse from Ferrari 4005 notebook to 
be ignored by hid core. This change makes hid core to use input session 
instead of hid session with that mouse. With hid session the mouse cursor 
moves too laggy, using input session corrects this problem.

Is this wonky behavior of this mouse regression from older kernels, or has 
the mouse been misbehaving in HID mode all the time?

	It is misbehaving since hid session was made default in kernel 2.6.22. Until 
kernel 2.6.21 input session was the default.
