We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time. Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) reached end-of-standard-support on April 25, 2019. Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time. Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1352374 Title: changing backlight color on saitek eclipse 2 keyboard causes mouse failure Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This has apparently been ongoing for a long time.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1352374] Re: changing backlight color on saitek eclipse 2 keyboard causes mouse failure
Status New I have updated the BIOS from version 1503 (1-16-13) to version 2501. Here is the output of your command: marty@tux:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date [sudo] password for marty: 2501 04/07/2014 marty@tux:~$ The behavior is unchanged from before the BIOS update. If I wait until the system finishes booting and I am on my desktop and attempt to change the start up color of the keyboard illumination from blue to red, I lose most mouse left and right click ability on the desktop area. I can still click the gear icon and have the system log off and log back on as long as I don't wait too long. The longer I wait to attempt the log off, the less mouse function I have until all it does is move the cursor around, but nothing is clickable. The keyboard will still function for a much longer period of time until everything becomes unresponsive. My current work around is to change the keyboard color as soon as the boot process starts to load the Linux kernel. If I wait until I am on the desktop to change the color, then I must immediately log off and back on and everything is fine as long as I don't attempt to change the color again. Any further changes of keyboard color require an immediate log off and on to keep the system stable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1352374 Title: changing backlight color on saitek eclipse 2 keyboard causes mouse failure Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This has apparently been ongoing for a long time.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1352374] Re: changing backlight color on saitek eclipse 2 keyboard causes mouse failure
Martin G Miller, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2501). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2501 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1352374 Title: changing backlight color on saitek eclipse 2 keyboard causes mouse failure Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This has apparently been ongoing for a long time.
