[Bug 587134] [NEW] Logitech PS2 mouse fails to initialize

[Zack Meyers]

Public bug reported:

A Logitech optical wheel mouse fails to initialize under Ubuntu Lucid.

On an old P4 dell laptop I have an USB mouse which I use with a
converter for the PS2 port as my USB ports are jammed.

The bug manifested itself with the release of Ubuntu Lucid and kernel
2.6.32, it was not present in 6.31 or any lower kernel version. The
mouse in question is:

ID 046d:c00e Logitech, Inc. M-BJ58/M-BJ69 Optical Wheel Mouse

Symptoms of the bug:

When the system loads, the mouse is inactive, cursor can't be moved,
scroll too. The device however is powered as I can see the mouse's
lights go up.

If I unplug and plug back again the mouse from the PS2 port, it gets
detected and I can operate with it, however the scroll does not work. To
fully enable the mouse I to have unplug/plug again and issue "rmmod
psmouse" and "modprobe psmouse" to restore complete functionality of the
mouse.

If the mouse is connected to a USB port, no such problems occur.

It appears this strictly pertains to the PS port.


Relevant dmesg information:

I believe this to be an all-around kernel issue and not Ubuntu specific
per se.

Its very, very annoying unplugging your mouse back and forth every time
your system boots.


Let me know if I can be of more assistance.
