Wireless mouse has no horizontal movement after upgrade to hardy

[Graviton]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

After upgrading to gutsy, my Logitech MX revolution mouse has only vertical movement.

Relevant part of my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Configured Mouse"
 Driver "evdev"
 Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_Logitech_BT_Mini-Receiver_000761A4AE3E-event-mouse"
EndSection

Gentoo users have also reported this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199317
And it is reported upstream: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13135

It seems that the upgrade to evdev-1.2.0 is what breaks it.

I also experienced this bug in hardy with all updates installed.
The vertical axis doesn't work, if I enable the evdev driver.
I need evdev to use all mouse buttons, not only the 3 standard buttons + the scroll wheel.

I have this problem here too. It seems in evdev 1.99.2 the bug is fixed.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Intrepid has x-x-input-evdev 2.0.3, closing as fixed.

[Benjamin Kudria (bkudria)]

Yep, this new version of evdev fixes the problem. Thanks!

I seem to have this issue with evdev 1.2.0 in hardy with my wireless mouse.

Jeremy, the fix is in intrepid. I suspect backporting the fix to hardy isn't going to be possible, but I've opened a hardy task for it just in case.

I confirm the bug, also with the new version of MX Revolution (the one in the set MX 5500 Revolution).
I'm happy because in Intrepid is fixed (if IT IS fixed) but Hardy is LTS: will be fixed also in Hardy?

The workaround from upstream seemed to do the trick for me under hardy, by adding to the inputdevice section:

Option "Abs32MapTo" "-1"

[mous16 (mous16-info)]

This trick doesn't work for me.

[mous16 (mous16-info)]

I've solved compiling the latest evdev module on the x.org site. Now the driver works fine.

[Jeremy Nickurak (nickurak)]

not seeing this issue in intrepid.

Hey Jeremy,

The trick works for me! (Option "Abs32MapTo" "-1") in Hardy, i'm using a Genius Navigator 525 Laser. 4D Scroll works!. Thanks a lot!

Hardy has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the Hardy task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
