Description Anno v. Heimburg 2004-07-02 10:40:59 UTC 
Distribution: Gentoo 
Hardware Environment: x86, AMD Athlon XP, Logitech MX500 optical mouse 
Problem Description: 
 I have set up the mouse wheel in X as per usual Z-Axis-Mapping. Everything 
works fine until I use my keyboard/video/mouse switch to switch to a different 
PC. When I switch back, everything's there - except the mouse wheel. I loaded 
evdev and 'cat'ed the input device. Everytime I move the mouse, a lot of 
garbage appears, as expected, dito for clicking. However, when using the wheel 
after switching back and forth on the KVM, it remains silent for the wheel. 
 
This problem does not appear under 2.4 in an otherwise identical environment.

Dupe of bug 2082?
Comment 2 Anno v. Heimburg 2004-09-07 08:56:53 UTC 
Yes and no. Different symptom (wheel stops working instead of mouse going 
crazy), but the patch fixed it. Marked as duplicate. Thank you so much and 
push that fix into mainline!
