#3152 closed bug (fixed)

Mouse (trackpad) used to work fine - now unreliable.

Reported by: alban Owned by: siarzhuk
Priority: normal Milestone: R1
Component: Drivers/Mouse/PS2 Version: R1/Development
Keywords: Cc: olive@…
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: All

Description (last modified by axeld)

The mouse (trackpad) is much less reliable in very recent Haiku releases. The mouse pointer sometimes hangs or freezes during or shortly after startup. mouse buttons are not responsive; there is a delay between clicking a button and the action taking place. This makes the user interface hard to use.

I don't understand this. Why are we publishing a standard and a synaptics mouse at the same time and at the same index? Is this even supported? I only did the standard mouse part. Because stippi committed the patch with hrev28643 I'm reassigning it

can you test this again with a recent build?

comment:6 by herdemir, 13 years ago

I have been having the same problem, but wasn't reporting since I was using USB mouse.

I have a HP NX8220 laptop with "Synaptics" touchpad. The mouse was working fine as "Standard Mouse" before touchpad features added. After touchpad features added the touchpad wasn't working.(Keyboard works fine). I'm getting the same syslog as above. But in order to be more helpful I'm adding a syslog with PS/2 command tracing enabled and a grep "ps2:" one.

Replying to herdemir:

Please try the latest nightly revisions. In hrev42329 I have fixed the issue with non-answering pass-through device as in your syslog.

Note that original bugs problem looks different - there are multiple reinitialization of ps2 module and the function of the mouse is periodically freeze - that is not a case of mentioned fix. So any syslog with activated PS2 _TRACE is welcomed.

Resolution: → fixed
Status: assigned → closed

Looks like all are happy with mentioned hrev42325 fixes and there are neither objections no reports. Assume this issue fixed by hrev42325. Feel free to reopen it in case the problem reappears.
