Bug Description
I created a rule in udev (/etc/udev/
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="mouse2", PROGRAM+
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="mouse2", PROGRAM+
Before PROGRAM, I tried RUN, but reading the manual saying that run must be short, I changed it. I tried PROGRAM= too (without the +). In all cases, the rules worked. When I connected my usb mouse, the touchpad was disabled and when disconnected, touchpad was enabled again. But some times it affected the keyboard. Looking some informations on logs (kern.log, message, syslog, ...) appeared various entries like "input: ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse as /class/
My work around is to unpug and plug my usb mouse again: the touchpad is disabled and keyboard back to work properly. But I need to do this on every boot and some times later, but I don't no exactly what cause this times, if screensaver or other things.
I'm using gutsy, 2.6.22-14-generic.
ps: Sorry my english.
