it looks that after update to 2.6.5 kernel (debian source package but

Try my patch for 2.6.5: http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/4/20/10

Build psmouse into a module (for easier testing) and insert it with the proto parameter. I'd say "modprobe psmouse proto=exps" works for you, but you might want to try imps and ps2pp too. The reason I wrote the patch in the first place was that a lot of PS/2 Logitech mice refused to work (and yes, exps works for me and others)....


didn't help, I still see (without X running):

8, 0, 0 any button down
9, 0, 0 left button up
12, 0, 0 wheel up, sidebutton up
10, 0, 0 right button up

8, 0, 0 wheel rotation (any direction)

except of some protocols (IIRC ps2pp, bare, genps) ignore wheel completely. is there any way to verify which protocol the mouse is using? modprobe -v printed different messages for each protocol so I think that worked (it said Generic Explorer etc.)

I tried: exps, imps, ps2pp, bare, genps

any ideas?

the mouse says: Cordless MouseMan Wheel (Logitech), it has left/right buttonss, wheel that can be pushed or rotated and a side button, not sure how to better identify it. With 2.4 kernels it used to work with X using protocol MouseManPlusPS/2.

anybody? any hints? should I look at driver? are there some docs for logitech mice (protocol)?

TIA
