[intrepid] Logitech MX900 bluetooth mouse - cursor 'jerky'

[greenkr]

Binary package hint: gnome

Logitech MX900 bluetooth mouse worked fine in Gutsy and Hardy (updated from Gutsy). After update to Intrepid, movement of cursor on screen was jerky, making it difficult to position the cursor precisely. This also happened when using the Intrepid LIveCD. I have now reverted to Hardy and mouse again works as normal.

not a meta package bug.

I tried to enter package as "gnome desktop" - it said there was no such
package, to put "I don't know" . When I did that it said there was 1
error so eventually I put "gnome" which it accepted.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it without more information.

Please include the information requested from the wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingMouseDetection as separate attachments.

Thank you for supplying the required information. This should now be enough information to help to resolve the problem. If you are required by other triagers/developers to supply any more information, please do so. Good luck!

I think I'm having the same issue. Details in bug 314854.

Try a lucid livecd if it's better there.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

My mouse has worked fine since Jaunty but I have the stuttering problem again now that I have installed Lucid! I used the entries below in the bluetooth config file previously but it does not seem to exist in Lucid.

BLUETOOTH_ENABLED=1
HIDD_ENABLED=1
HIDD_OPTIONS="--master --server"
HIDD_OPTIONS="-i 00:07:61:1d:78:2d --server"
#line above enabled Jaunty

This problem still exists in Lucid 10.04.

The Logitech MX900 mouse used to work OK but is now so jerky that's it's unusable. Common workarounds mentioned on the internet about this problem refer to config settings that no longer seem to exist in Lucid.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Can you test this with a Live CD of Maverick (Ubuntu 10.10) please? If this is still a problem, please run "apport-collect 294822", and if asked please allow it to "Change Anything" in Launchpad. This will grab all the relevant information for this bug report for the latest version. Thank you.

No problem in 10.10 beta Live CD - mouse works smoothly.

[xteejx (xteejx-deactivatedaccount)]

Great news! I have marked this Fix Released. Thank you for reporting this to us and please continue to report another bugs you may find.

Hello,

yesterday I upgraded my Ubuntu 9.10 to Ubuntu 10.10 and unfortunately my bluetooth mouse (MX 900) shows now the described behaviour. With Ubuntu 10.04 the problems are there, too.

I have connected the mouse using the bluetooth hub (connected to USB) which was delivered together with the mouse by Logitech.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Please test on 11.04 if things have improved.

[Expired for bluez (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

I am having this issue myself as well. I am on Ubuntu 11.10 and the mouse is practically unusable. I have been making due with a USB mouse but this is no longer an option for me as I have 4 systems set up with KVM and a dedicated monitor on one system, the one with the bluetooth. Is there any fix or any word on this? Is the problem in Bluez or in xorg input?
