At the risk of being rude, can you look again at your Xorg log ? say that because I think that with libinput the pointing devices (pointers, trackpads, maybe something else, mice) can be picked up by libinput, which explains some of the noise. > >Are you using libinput or evdev ? > > Libinput > > >Related question : does the keyboard work, and if so, which driver > >did you specify for that ?

In my own log, my optical mouse shows up twice and the first is removed for some reason: [ 33.408] (**) PixArt USB Optical Mouse: Applying InputClass "libinput pointer catchall" [ 33.408] (II) Using input driver 'libinput' for 'PixArt USB Optical Mouse' [ 33.408] (**) PixArt USB Optical Mouse: always reports core events [ 33.408] (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event9" [ 33.408] (**) Option "_source" "server/udev" [ 33.408] (II) event9 - PixArt USB Optical Mouse: is tagged by udev as: Mouse [ 33.409] (II) event9 - PixArt USB Optical Mouse: device set to 1000 DPI [ 33.409] (II) event9 - PixArt USB Optical Mouse: device is a pointer [ 33.409] (II) event9 - PixArt USB Optical Mouse: device removed [ 33.429] (**) Option "config_info" "udev:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.3/0000:03:00.0/usb1/1-9/1-9:1.0/0003:093A:2510.0001/input/input9/event9" [ 33.429] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "PixArt USB Optical Mouse" (type: MOUSE, id 8) [ 33.429] (**) Option "AccelerationScheme" "none" [ 33.429] (**) PixArt USB Optical Mouse: (accel) selected scheme none/0 [ 33.429] (**) PixArt USB Optical Mouse: (accel) acceleration factor: 2.000 [ 33.429] (**) PixArt USB Optical Mouse: (accel) acceleration threshold: 4 [ 33.429] (II) event9 - PixArt USB Optical Mouse: is tagged by udev as: Mouse [ 33.429] (II) event9 - PixArt USB Optical Mouse: device set to 1000 DPI [ 33.429] (II) event9 - PixArt USB Optical Mouse: device is a pointer [ 33.429] (II) config/udev: Adding input device PixArt USB Optical Mouse (/dev/input/mouse0) [ 33.429] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device. I guess the important thing is that it gets type: MOUSE or is tagged by udev as: Mouse - all I can think of for your case is that either it has been identified as a pointer, or that the mouse buttons have stopped working. Actually, one of my other mice is sometimes a bit difficult and occasionally doesn't seem to generate clicks. ĸen -- Currently studying https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200087 - I bought the same model, usb sticks boot if I add noapic in grub, but no trackpad (and therefore no mouse). The ivrs parms seemed ineffective.
