[Bug 404881] New: Dell XPS M1530 laptop cursor problems with openSUSE 11.0
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.

I can see "Input device" Mouse 1, but no "corepointer" in that section. As I was afraid i could damage my system, I didn't edit the file. One more thing - my laptop had Nvidia video card. Just before u asked me to replace "the mouse pointer", I downloaded and installed Nvidia drivers from opensuse.org to enable desktop effects. Could the installation of those nvidia drivers changed the xorg.conf file and that's why I cannot locate "Corepointer" in "Input Device Mouse [1]"? -- 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.

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".

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?

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.
