Description CIJOML CIJOMLovic CIJOMLov 2008-09-20 06:04:58 UTC

Hi there,

to be able to use my Bluetooth mouse with evdev driver (see bug 16454) I tried workaround it like this using udev:

compaq:/usr/src/xf86-input-evdev# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
KERNEL=="event*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{uniq}=="00:07:61:3E:70:E0", NAME="input/mx1000"
KERNEL=="event*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{uniq}=="00:07:61:3E:1C:71", NAME="input/logkeyb"

and than in xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Logitech diNovo Keyboard"
        Driver          "evdev"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/logkeyb"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "logidinovo"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "cz"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Logitech MX1000"
        Driver          "evdev"
        #Option         "Vendor" "0x046d"
        #Option         "Product" "0xb003"
        #Option         "Name"  "Logitech Bluetooth Mouse"
        #Option         "Uniq"  "00:07:61:3E:70:E0"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/mx1000" #rename by udev rule
        Option          "Buttons"               "12"
        Option     "Resolution"      "800"
        Option          "RelHWHEELMapTo"        "Buttons 7 6"
        Option          "CorePointer"
EndSection


And now my problem:

If mouse is connected via Bluetooth BEFORE xorg is started, it works. In moment it disconnects and reconnect again to save batteries, after reconnect cursor doesn't work. Same reconnect action with my Bluetooth keyboard works like a charm.
Mouse is connected, because kbluetoothd reports it and I can also move it in console (gpm).

Don't do that if you want to be able to hotplug the devices.  Configure
them through hal instead of xorg.conf.

no, it's not. /dev/input/mice is handled by the kernel, not by X.

when you're removing the device, X shuts it down. but without the appropriate
HAL config, it never gets the notification that the device is added again (or
it does, but with the wrong parameters).

Anything in xorg.conf is _NOT_ hotpluggable.

(the keyboard most likely works because the X server is still loading the kbd
driver)

Comment 4 CIJOML CIJOMLovic CIJOMLov 2008-09-20 22:06:10 UTC

Than I must reopen, because I use evdev for keyboard too...check the config. And keyboard also disconnects and connects again to save batteries...

Comment 5 Peter Hutterer 2008-09-20 23:31:10 UTC

Is that your complete config?

Also - we'd need your Xorg.log to debug what is happening.

Comment 6 Peter Hutterer 2008-10-09 00:46:10 UTC

ping?

Comment 7 CIJOML CIJOMLovic CIJOMLov 2008-10-09 01:26:41 UTC

Hello Peter,

what do you mean complete config? It is complete part of config related to input devices, of course there are video options etc...

Comment 8 Peter Hutterer 2008-10-09 03:57:00 UTC

yes, your xorg.conf (the whole file), and your Xorg.log please.
Even parts that appear unrelated can sometimes have important information.
