https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=404881 Summary: Dell XPS M1530 laptop cursor problems with openSUSE 11.0 Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: stilo_vingyou@hotmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Other I installed openSUSE 11 on a Dell XPS M1530 laptop. It has Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00 GHz, 3 GB Dual channel DDR2 RAM, 256 MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT video card and 250 GB SATA Hard Disk. It came with Windows Vista Home Premium preinstalled. There's no way you can buy this laptop without having Windows Vista preinstalled. It had two partitions - C drive with Vista @ 110 GB and D drive with recovery at 10 GB. There was remaining unallocated space. I tried to dual-boot Vista with openSUSE 11 installed in the unallocated space but Yast said "cannot shrink the partitions due to inconsistent filesystems." So I formatted the hard disk clean with Gparted. Then allocated 30 GB for root and 6 GB for swap and installed the complete openSUSE 11 with all options on the DVD to the system. The complete installation took 45 minutes. My problem is as soon as I move the cursor through the touchpad in any desktop environment GNOME, KDE 3, KDE 4 or Xfce, the cursor automatically moves randomly in all directions and adds extra panels, opens different applications and stops. If I move the cursor again it again goes on displaying the same erratic behaviour. Then I killed the X server in all desktop environments by pressing CTRL, ALT, Backspace twice and rebooted. I went to the failsafe mode of openSUSE from Grub and booted in all the desktop environments and closed all those panels and applications. In failsafe mode, the cursor behaves normally like in any other laptop. But when I go back and boot the main openSUSE 11 kernel and into any of the desktop environments, the cursor again starts displaying that erratic behaviour. So what should I do now to stop this erratic behaviour of the cursor? This problem is not specific to openSUSE 11. The cursor displays the same erratic behaviour in Knoppix 5, NimbleX 2007, Slax server edition also. Interestingly when I run the openSUSE 10.3 Live DVD in Live mode in either GNOME or KDE 3, the cursor behaves normally. I didn't install openSUSE 10.3 since I wanted to try the new openSUSE 11. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Question is, do you simply don't see the cursor or does your mouse create events like mad.

With 11.0, there is an "x11failsafe" option which isn't a kernel parameter. Can you try booting in normal mode but append x11failsafe to the command line? I've seen similar problems before, but it's usually been a result of having the mouse incorrectly configured, not a kernel problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So what does that mean? Only Puppy Linux, Damn Small Linux, Vector Linux 5.8 and openSUSE 10.3 (the promo DVD ones) run on my laptop. I did get that strange mouse behaviour once in openSUSE 10.3, but I killed the X server and rebooted. Then it became normal. Hope openSUSE 11.1 solves this problem. I can't alpha/beta test the openSUSE 11.1 iso due to very slow and unreliable internet connection. Anyways, thanks for being with me till now!

Until that time 10.3 was simply perfect to my Acer aspire 5710, thus I even glued an "designed for SUSE" label on it! But, unfortunately, I clicked yes for that update available message that morning.... After this, my touchpad came crazy. Even the failsafe mode was affected. I tried update the system to OS 11, but like the brother Praveen has told above, these touchpad disease came to stay. In another bug report, I found a suggestion to try the boot options i8042.reset and i8042.nomux. Like the drug haloperidol for schizofrenics, these single words got the touchpad crazy behavior under control. But, also as the drug, they did not cure the touchpad, which is still somewhat "lazy".

So I could install the OS in my laptop. But after installation from the Live CD, on first boot the erratic mouse behavior did occur and only when I entered the i8042.nomux i8042.reset kernel command line parameter on second boot did the problem got completely mitigated. Unlike Carlos, I didn't experience any annoying, random, delay to get the cursor moving after you start scratching the touch pad. For me, the cursor actually worked as it would work normally in other pcs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The problem is completely mitigated on my system when using

i8042.nomux i8042.reset

Thanks. Could you please test whether only i8042.nomux is sufficient? Thanks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But another thing I have found is that I can get 2-touch as one mouse click, but the 2-touch interval must be really fast. Impossible to get it by one finger only. At least in my case....I need to quickly tambour the touchpad with several fingers to get an object selected. I know, it is ridiculous. I tried to modify the settings of the mouse behaviour in the KDE, but I did not succeed to get it better, and it was worse to the external mouse. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Could you please attach the output of 'dmidecode' command on the affected system? I can add your system to blacklist, so that kernel uses the 'nomux' option automatically on the system you have. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

All I need now is detailed steps/commands as to how I should bring the output of 'dmidecode' on my terminal and attach that to bugzilla? I mean, the previous attachments which I submitted i.e of x.org conf file, the x.org conf file was in some directory so I could use the command 'cp' to copy the x.org conf file from it's native directory to the directory "Desktop' and then upload it to bugzilla. When I enter the command 'dmidecode' in the terminal, it gives output, but how am I supposed to save that output and copy it to the directory "Desktop' from where I can upload that output to bugzilla? Also, Jiri, since I believe we are coming close to fixing this bug within a day, could you please request the release team to release the Beta 3 after fixing this bug so that I can test Beta 3 with the updated kernel without worrying about this bug?

I said above that only .nomux parameter was fine, but there is an exception. It is not enough when the system is started after its complete turn off.

So, after a "cold start" of the machine, I need to restart it again to get the tochpad working fine. This do not occur when I use the i8042.reset option together.

I tested it several times, and I never got the touchpad working fine at the first system start.

If I enter .nomux with .reset parameter, it doesn't work once I reboot the machine and I need to again give both parameters after reboot. I also need to give both parameters after a "cold start" to make my touchpad work fine. If I enter just the .nomux parameter, here also it doesn't work if I reboot and I need to enter the .nomux parameter after reboot to make my touchpad work fine. Once I enter .nomux parameter, even after a "cold start", I need to again give the .nomux parameter to make my touchpad work fine. I too tested both options: 1) .nomux with .reset 2) just .nomux several times. But as you can see, only the .nomux parameter is enough for my system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I downloaded Beta 3 KDE Live CD. I had to use .nomux parameter to install beta3 to hard disk and once again I had to enter .nomux paramter to use the installed beta 3. I downloaded the kernels when I logged in as a normal user and "not" as root. So I used the "su" command and installed all three kernels by using the command: rpm -ivh kernel*2.6.27-19.1*rpm After which I got the following output: Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package kernel-default-base-2.6.27.1-2.1.i586 (which is newer than kernel-default-base-2.6.27-19.1.i586) is already installed package kernel-default-2.6.27.1-2.1.i586 (which is newer than kernel-default-2.6.27-19.1.i586) is already installed package kernel-default-extra-2.6.27.1-2.1.i586 (which is newer than kernel-default-extra-2.6.27-19.1.i586) is already installed Well, that doesn't solve the problem either :( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I played with variations of the acpi=something option which worked intermittently but recently the touchpad basically died completely. I first found the i8042.reset option mentioned elsewhere, I tried it and the touchpad worked but it never allowed me to configure it, e.g. to disable the extremely annoying scrolling functions. I have now added the i8042.nomux option as well and all is ok so far. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I still need to give the option i8042.reset option on boot, but the final behaviour is very nice! Even the "2-touches" on the pad are being recognised properly, and the cursor starts moving precisely after scratching the pad. best regards -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
