Having investigated a little I am quite surprised that a kernel update is sent out with a serious flaw as a failure of the mouse. The bug was known in kernel 2.6.38.8 and reappeared in 2.6.39.1
I experimented a little more: Attaching an Apple Mighty Mouse works fine. A /dev/input/eventX is generated that connects to the /dev/input/mouseY. Attaching an Apple Magic Mouse does not create the event device. The mouse device is created but there is no input stream. The problem occurs regularly (Ubuntu 9.04, January 2010, now). Hope this gets fixed soon -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/814250 Title: Apple Magic Mouse stopped working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/814250/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
