[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Thank you for providing a patch, and making Ubuntu better.

Can you provide some information on the status of the patch with regards to getting it merged upstream? Has it been sent upstream, what sort of feedback has it received, is it getting applied to a subsystem maintainer's tree, etc?

[Jacek Łukaszewicz (jacek-y2)]

I found code in kernel for proper work Holtek keyboard:
It looks like same problem with mouse:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=blob;f=drivers/hid/hid-holtek-kbd.c

[Vladimir Yerilov (openmindead)]

Ubuntu 13.04 (Beta 2).
Bug still persists. Recompiling kernel mentioned in Bug Description section resolves the promlem but it's too geeky way to make mouse work properly.

[Vladimir Yerilov (openmindead)]

This bug hasn't been fixed yet?! I was very surprised to face it during testing one of Saucy's dailies a week ago. It is ridiculous to recompile kernel each time one receives update because of one incorrect value.

Bug also occurs in Trusty Tar with an Easy-Acc X900-M gaming Mouse.

Is there a chance to get it fixed?

[mercuriete (mercuriete)]

i have the same problem but with another usb device:

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 147a:e02c Formosa Industrial Computing, Inc. Infrared Receiver

it is a infrared receiver but in fact is like a usb keyboard.

my laptop is an old Acer Aspire 5510 and i never was able to make my infrared get working but i read this thread and now i could fix the problem..

quoting to this guy....

#define HID_MAX_USAGES 12288

from 12288 to a value greater than 32k,
recompile and install the new kernel.

i did this and now its working:

Hi

I have tried to get this working on Ubuntu 14.04 and found it not to work. And on gentoo neither linux-3.14.14-gentoo. I edited the hid.h as directed.

I now have it working on gentoo. after following this.

I had not enabled the HOLTEK kernel modules.

[Hanno (hzulla)]

I am not affected.

But while reading up on a possible purchase of a Medion Akoya P2214T computer, users reported that its attachable keyboard doesn't work with Ubuntu 14.04. In the same thread, one user reported that the HID_MAX_USAGES change fixes this.

I have had a similar issue on 14.04 with a different mouse reported here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1360293.
