Hi all,
I have a 2.6.9 kernel (downloaded from kernel.org) for a computer I put together. (Tyan motherboard with 2 Athlon MPs). I have a logitech wireless USB mouse plugged into a miniview ps/2 KVM switch (with the supplied USB to ps/2 converter), with the miniview KVM switch connected to the ps/2 port of the computer. I'm running on a Debian system and the problem also exists with the debian 2.6.9 k7 smp build.
The problem: it seems that when I use the mouse wheel, the button 2 and 3 are randomly clicked, and is very annoying. The scrolling still works but I'm getting noise that seems to cause the other buttons to click.
Some trouble shooting: With the same setup, the 2.4 kernels work with no problem. With the 2.6.9 kernels, it also works whether I hook the logitech mouse straight to the USB port or to the ps/2 port through the converter. So it seems that the problem is between the KVM switch and the 2.6.9 kernel.
I've googled and found problems where the problem occurs after a switch and the wheel mouse stops functioning. This is not my problem. This happens without a switch, and the wheel mouse works but I seem to get some noise that causes these extra clicks. If I slowly wheel the mouse upwards, then the button 2 always clicks (not the wheel mouse button, but the one to the right of it).
Also note that with the ps/2 connected directly, I get in the logs "ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio1" through the KVM I get: "ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio1"
Any ideas?
I'm working on a new system and I am just rejoining the list. Since my email doesn't match my real address I must first be approved. I wouldn't usually ask this, but if you reply, could you please CC me at rostedt at goodmis dot org. (so much spam, I'm trying to save myself).
Thanks in advance!
