PS/2 Mouse does no longer work with kernel 2.6 on a laptop

PS/2 Mouse does no longer work with kernel 2.6 on a laptop

Hello everybody!

I'm trying to switch my laptop from kernel 2.4 to kernel 2.6.2. Everything 
seems to work correctly, only my PS/2 mouse doesn't.

My laptop has a touchpad and a PS/2 port. On the PS/2 port I usually attach a 
Logitech trackball. With kernel 2.4 I was able to use touchpad and trackball 
at the same time. With kernel 2.6 the trackball on the PS/2 port seems to be 
recognized, but it doesn`t work :( Neither in X11 nor with gpm on the console 
I get an input from the trackball, i.e. I can`t move the pointer nor click.

The kernel gives me the following information about the found input devices:

i8042.c: Detected active multiplexing controller, rev 1.1.
serio: i8042 AUX0 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
serio: i8042 AUX1 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
input: PS2++ Logitech Mouse on isa0060/serio2
serio: i8042 AUX2 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
serio: i8042 AUX3 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
input: PS/2 Generic Mouse on isa0060/serio4
serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0

Also in /dev/input exists these devices:

crw-r--r--    1 root     root      13,  63 1970-01-01 00:00 mice
crw-r--r--    1 root     root      13,  32 1970-01-01 00:00 mouse0
crw-r--r--    1 root     root      13,  33 1970-01-01 00:00 mouse1

Other non-PS/2 devices work, e.g. when I attach an USB mouse, that mouse 
works. 

What could be wrong with my configuration?

  Emmy

Seconded. After update from 2.6.0 to 2.6.2 both the built-in touchpad and
stick stopped working. XFree86 complained about "no such device" (or something
similiar) when accessing /dev/psaux. /dev/input/mice is also configured but
seems not to work.

Hardware is a Dell Inspiron 8000.

I've seen the same on a Transmeta development platform, which is
designed to "look like" a laptop.  Makes me wonder if there is some
interaction with ACPI.

Do you have an active multiplexing controller and does passing i8042.nomux 
option help?

The Debian maintainer released a new package today with the following change
log entry:

* Reenabled INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX_ENABLE (closes: #232267, #232269).

Now everything works again.

So it looks like this might have been a SNAFU... Unless the other guy
experiencing problems is not using the Debian kernel packages.

Sorry for not passing along that i was using a pre-compiled binary.

It seems so. At least passing this kernel option makes my PS/2 trackball work 
again :)

Thank you!

Could you please #define DEBUG in drivers/input/serio/i8042.c and post your
dmesg? Also, what kind of PC is that (manufacturer/model)?

Thank you.

I've attached the output of dmesg with the i8042.nomux option and without. The 
laptop is a Xeron Sonic Power Plus (Similar to this one: 
http://www.xeron.com/index.php4?id=1255 -- sorry, there seems to be no 
english translation of this page). Xeron puts together laptops in exact the 
configuration you like. Only the motherboards are the same. But I don`t know 
the motherboard vendor/type.

I see that the kernel correctly identifies both devices so I suspect there
could be a problem with your setup. Could you also post your XF86Config
and tell me the the options you are passing to GPM, please?

I've attached both the XF86Config and the gpm config. I don't use gpm normaly. 
I only tried to figure out the correct config for my mouse device with gpm. I 
also tried some things in the XF86Config. Both, my original XF86Config and 
the one I'm currently using are attached.

What I forgot to mention: cat /dev/input/mouse1 gives me some garbage as soon 
as I move on the trackpad. But cat /dev/input/mouse0 gives me nothing, so I 
don't think that this is a userspace configuration problem. The kernel seems 
to get no input from the PS/2 mouse at all.

Dmitry, this looks like either MUX or PassThrough problem.

It can't be Pass-through problem as the touchpad is not identified as Synaptics,
so it must be MUX...

Emmeran, what happens if you "cat /dev/input/mice" and try working the
touchpad and the trackball? Do you see anything when you use the touchpad?
If not, please #define DEBUG in i8042.c again and after reboot try using
touchpad first, then type something (so we'll see the point when you
stopped using the touchpad), move trackball and type something again and
post your dmesg one more time. This way we would see if there is anything
comes out from the touchpad in MUX mode, etc, etc.

And could you please post your /proc/bus/input/devices? 

Thank you,

Dmitry

Yes, when I move the touchpad some output is generated, but not when I move 
the mouse. The same is with /dev/mouse and /dev/psaux.

2 or 3? According to the kernel data you have 2 PS/2 devices
and one USB trackball:

Is this correct? Or you have only 2 devices (one PS/2 and one USB) and it
is one of those wierd USB legacy emulation troubles. Does it behave better
if you load USB modules first and only then psmouse?

Sorry, I didn't want to confuse you.

I`ve attached a USB mouse because the PS/2 trackball didn`t work when I was 
creating the /proc-output (since I booted without the i????.nomux option). 
But I don`t like the USB mouse, I prefer to use the trackball.

The problem is the same: The USB mouse can be attachend/detached any time. It 
does hotplug very well. All data I've send you was with the USB mouse 
detached. Only when I did the cat /proc/... I didn't want to use the trackpad 
and attached the USB mouse ...

Just ignore the USB mouse. It doesn't seem to be related to the problem. And 
yes, in this case I had 3 physical devices (trackpad, PS/2 trackball, USB 
trackball) attached.
