I'm also affected by this bug. Using Jaunty PPC on a PS3, Microsoft
Notebook Mouse 5000.
Workaround 1:
sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Workaround 2:
sudo gedit /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
Comment this line by adding <!-- before and --> after
<!--
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
-->
Both workarounds work great, I just wanted to put them into a more
noobish approach, especially that in the first comment the command is
misspelled (xserver instead of xerver)
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: hal
[[[
For users suffering from this problem, the easiest workaround is to:
- sudo apt-get remove xerver-xorg-input-synaptics
+ sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
]]]
I own a Logitech LX710 mouse - keyboard combo. Its mouse works fine on
my laptop (i386), but the mouse wheel doesn't work on my PS3 (powerpc).
I used the hotkeys troubleshooting page of the wiki to find the root cause of
the problem, and it seems to be a problem in hal.
Using the hal-find-by-capability command, I found that the "input.x11_driver"
value is different on the two machines:
- on i386, "input.x11_driver" is "evdev"
- on powerpc, "input.x11_driver" is "synatpics"
Thanks.
