Public bug reported:
I created a rule in udev (/etc/udev/rules.d/mouse.rules) to disable the
touchpad of my laptop when my usb mouse is connected. The rules are:
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="mouse2", PROGRAM+="/sbin/rmmod psmouse"
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="mouse2", PROGRAM+="/sbin/modprobe psmouse"
Before PROGRAM, I tried RUN, but reading the manual saying that run must
be short, I changed it. I tried PROGRAM= too (without the +). In all
cases, the rules worked. When I connected my usb mouse, the touchpad was
disabled and when disconnected, touchpad was enabled again. But some
times it affected the keyboard. Looking some informations on logs
(kern.log, message, syslog, ...) appeared various entries like "input:
ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse as /class/input/inputXX", where these XX
grows. I don't know if my rule is wrong (but I don't think so, because
it worked!) or this is really a bug. These inputs happens on boot and I
think after backing from screensaver too.
My work around is to unpug and plug my usb mouse again: the touchpad is
disabled and keyboard back to work properly. But I need to do this on
every boot and some times later, but I don't no exactly what cause this
times, if screensaver or other things.
I'm using gutsy, 2.6.22-14-generic.
ps: Sorry my english.
