| alkisg | Hi, when I boot an office PC the USB mouse doesn't work. It does show up in lsusb and it *does work* if I unplug and re-plug it, so I'm thinking it might be a xorg issue. Any troubleshooting tips? Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit, i5 system, microsoft mouse. The mouse works fine in windows as well. | 06:20 |

| tjaalton | input issues are kernel bugs | 06:23 |
| tjaalton | try evtest, if you don't see events then that's a kernel bug for sure | 06:23 |
| tjaalton | or bios | 06:23 |
| alkisg | xev didn't produce events | 06:23 |
| tjaalton | or hw | 06:23 |
| alkisg | I'll try evtest, thanks | 06:24 |
| alkisg | Yup, evtest doesn't list the mouse as an input device even though lsusb does show it. After unplug/re-plug it works. I'll check with #ubuntu-kernel | 08:34 |

| furkan | smallfoot-: yeah a lot of those help pages are pretty old, but i think that one is still accurate RE: the non-free drivers not supporting KMS | 19:37 |
| furkan | *wiki pages, rather | 19:38 |
| smallfoot- | but I heard that Fedora runs X without root | 19:56 |
| smallfoot- | at least with the drivers that support it | 19:56 |
| smallfoot- | I wish Ubuntu did too | 19:56 |
| tjaalton | no it doesn't | 20:21 |
| tjaalton | not by default anyway | 20:22 |
