I did some brief testing with the Alpha 6 Live CD (the machine is essential, so I can't do more rigorous). The lmpcm_usb module did load, and none of the MX1000 buttons were recognized as keyboard buttons. However, the cruise & forward/back buttons have historically been recognized as "double" events, associated with two mouse button presses, which allowed the ability to distinguish cruise from the scroll wheel. This was not the case; of the four buttons, only the forward cruise was recognized as two buttons, and that as a 5/9 pair that would not allow for reliable separation from the scroll. This was with xorg.conf configured identically as the 7.10 install (followed by an X restart to load evdev).
Two issues I am not able to test with the Live CD are whether the module still intereferes with hibernate/standby, and whether it loads consistently instead of intermittenly. Even with the results above, I'd have to continue to blacklist it. With regards to the right package, it a) only recently became clear to me with launchpad that anyone can change items like that (launchpad desperately needs a proper FAQ/Guide for "everybody," not just people who might be interested in using it as a development platform), and b) it wasn't at all clear that this WAS associated with the kernel, nor does the wiki guide clarify the issue. -- lmpcm_usb doesn't work with mx1000 mouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159824 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
