[Bug 636311] Re: Keyboard special keys interfere with mouse

 

ppa:raof/aubergine didn't solve my problem. I can't use mouse and (this)
keyboard same time.

I have uptodate Ubuntu 10.10. (and tested only with 10.10)
My Mouse&Keyboard model is A4Tech No any Lag Wireless Desktop GL-6630 ( http://www.a4tech.com/product.asp?cid=100&scid=156&id=600 )
They are wireless mouse+keyboard set and using same usb-receiver.
After connecting receiver mouse start working, but when switch keyboard ON  - left mouse button stop working.

Keyboard has 7 special keys: shutdown, back, forward, refresh, home,
zoom, email. (If this does matter, mouse breaks before any key press)

I can disable keyboard, and then mouse works again:
xinput set-prop 8 "Device Enabled" 0
And enabling keyboard will break mouse again.

I tried ppa:raof/aubergine, but it didn't solve my problem.
Before:
xserver-common:    Installed: 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7
xserver-xephyr:    Installed: 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7
xserver-xorg-core: Installed: 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7
xserver-xorg-dev:  Installed: 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7

FIX:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:raof/aubergine
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot

After:
xserver-common, xserver-xephyr, xserver-xorg-core, xserver-xorg-dev  Installed: 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7.3~raof


I tested events from keyboard with 'xinput test 8'
-> ONLY key press/ key release (special keys gives key-events too)
