[Bug 285305] Re: vmmouse doesn't work with input hotplug
I had a section for an aiptek tablet using the wacom driver that wasn't connected that started with 4/11 updates to give problems. X would consume ~40% CPU along with g-s-d ~30%, some settings applications would complain about g-s-d not being available (although it was running). I first thought it was something wrong with some userside configuration, tried to clean stuff in gconf, etc, but nothing solved it.

Martin, sorry, I was just copying what you specified in your comment #25... Regarding the upstream version, as comment #28 from the upstream developer points out, this patch carries the change which fixes the actual driver. The upstream changes were this one fix, plus a lot of autoconfage change meant to set the VALUATOR define. Near as I can tell, those autoconf changes do not actually work (neither in the upstream tarball that I tested, nor in my extraction of the autoconf settings). However, in analyzing what the autoconf changes were attempting to do, it's just to enable the define when xserver 1.4 or newer is in use. Since our package already has a hard dependency on xserver 1.4, our patch is safe to just force the define directly. ** Attachment added: xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse_12.5.1-1ubuntu5.1.debdiff http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19316861/xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse_12.5.1-1ubuntu5.1.debdiff -- vmmouse doesn't work with input hotplug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 285305] Re: vmmouse doesn't work with input hotplug
Bryce, I meant that you cannot use debian/xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse.install to install the hal callout, since the package ships it with 644 permissions (in the diff.gz). Thus the .install should only install the FDI, and drop the hal-probe-vmmouse line. debian/rules shuold then do install -D -m 755 debian/hal-probe-vmmouse debian/usr/bin/xserver- xorg-input-vmmouse/usr/lib/hal/hal-probe-vmmouse Thanks for improving the changelog to explain the removed parts from vmmouse_abs_valuator_axis.diff. However, it's still my understanding that we actually need to upgrade to 12.5.2, since with the current version and the hall callout+fdi mouse is just plain broken.

Sorry, I missed that in my first review: You need to install the hal callout in debian/rules with install -m 755. Wit just dh_install, it will end up as 644 in /usr/lib/hal and not work. The script is in the diff.gz, so on unpacking the source it will be 644. Also, this debdiff now removes a large chunk from debian/patches/vmmouse_abs_valuator_axis.diff. I agree that it looks irrelevant, since ABS_VALUATOR_AXES is already hardcoded in vmmouse.c later in the patch, but the changelog should point out why.

That is, since the current -vmmouse driver is broken and can hardly get worse, I wouldn't mind an upload of the newer version *without* the magic fdi for intrepid final.

I don't have vmware at hand ATM, but I tested it with kvm. The .fdi and callout look sane, are focused, and do the right thing, my mouse now uses the vmmouse driver. ACK on those. However, the mouse just jumps around erratically between the corner in kvm, if I see it at all. I guess that's what is meant by broken with 1.5 and needs new upstream release. Of course it would be suboptimal to do this as an SRU, since the live system wouldn't use vmmouse then.

[Bug 285305] Re: vmmouse doesn't work with input hotplug
I'd like to nominate adding input hotplug support as an SRU. Intrepid isn't officially out yet, but it will be before any update can take place. If we agree that the broken driver should be fixed, the driver will still be very difficult to actually use in the absence of fixing this bug. Users would need to edit their xorg.conf file and disable input hot plugging and then add a device entry for the mouse. This is a non-trivial process and could lead them to difficulties with any other programs that assume that input hotplug is working. -- vmmouse doesn't work with input hotplug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
