Specs:
Version: BLFS-SVN
Kernel: 2.6.12.5
Mouse: Logitech Marble Mouse (Big Red Marble, 2 large mouse buttons, 2
smaller mouse buttons)
I rebuilt the kernel (I followed the LFS instructions) because I was
trying to get sound to work int this build (separate issue, another
time). Anyway I had botched that whole thing, and mistakenly deleted
both the config-2.6.12.5 and the lfskernel-2.6.12.5 files forcing me to
do a complete rebuild of the kernel from scratch.
After rebuilding the kernel, I lost use of my mouse. Actually, the
little box pointer does appear and I can move it with the trackball, but
then it automatically start to copy/paste without me clicking the mouse
buttons. The screen also flashes multi-colors and then I get this message:
psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at isa0060/seri1/input0 lost sychronization,
throwing 2 bytes away
What I have done so far to try to fix this (none of it worked):
Recompiled the kernel 4 times choosing different combinations of mouse
support
Recompiled gpm per the BLFS instructions (only once)
I don't know how I messed this up, and I don't know how to fix it. I am
looking at my host distro config file now, but if someone here could
help me out, I would appreciate it.
Looks like you are getting wrong driver for your mouse. Which device
uses GPM to read mouse events? /dev/input/mice? or /dev/input/event0 ?
What type of device GPM expects it to be (this should be in
/etc/sysconfig/mouse I believe) I think using udevinfo you can see
which real driver sits behind the device your GMP is using. Also, very
possible, you have now 2 drivers that pass information thru the same
device for your mouse (multiplexing) I had it once on my laptop, with
symilar symptoms.
All of the above are just guesses. Without knowing exact configuration
it's hard to say anything specific.
