[Touch-packages] [Bug 1363070] Re: USB Mouse cursor jumps and buttons get deactivated with two PS/2 devices connected
a short update: I found out that it has nothing to do with whether the second mouse is connected to the PS/2 port or the serial port. The mouse jumping also happens when connected to the serial port. Because the other PS/2 mouse never showed any of these problems I guess the culprit is the Logitech Trackman Live (or the receiver of it). However this problem did not occur in Windows, so it might as well be a combination of the specific hardware (Trackman Live, PD01X docking station) with the driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1363070 Title: USB Mouse cursor jumps and buttons get deactivated with two PS/2 devices connected Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: This happens when two PS/2 devices are connected at the same time and a USB mouse is primarily used (eg using a Laptop with a PS/2 touchpad with an external USB mouse) Symptoms: after a while (can be 10 minutes or 1 hour) the mouse cursor starts randomly to jump (mostly down) and up and then the mouse buttons get deactivated (clicking does not have any effect).

Only by accident I disconnected the Trackman and since then my USB mouse works well again. I verified that the bug reappears as soon as I connect the TrackMan again and I used different USB mice (as I thought that it might be a USB problem). It did not happen under Windows, so it is not hardware related. If this bug is going to be followed up I can test with a normal PS/2 mouse (instead of the TrackMan Live) if the same bug happens or would be happy to provide logging data.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1363070] Re: USB Mouse cursor jumps and buttons get deactivated with two PS/2 devices connected
Update to the filed bug: I found a PS/2 mouse (3-button + wheel Logitech M-SBF96) and connected it to the PS/2 port of my docking station. I had it connected the whole day and never I had any issues with non-working left clicks or marking all texts. As soon as I connected the Trackman Live! to the PS/2 port the problems started again after some time. So apparently there is something amiss with the Trackman Live! connected to the PS/2 port. If I use the Trackman Live! with a Serial to PS/2 adapter there are no problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1363070 Title: USB Mouse cursor jumps and buttons get deactivated with two PS/2 devices connected Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This happens when two PS/2 devices are connected at the same time and a USB mouse is primarily used (eg using a Laptop with a PS/2 touchpad with an external USB mouse) Symptoms: after a while (can be 10 minutes or 1 hour) the mouse cursor starts randomly to jump (mostly down) and up and then the mouse buttons get deactivated (clicking does not have any effect).
