Bug Description
A Logitech optical wheel mouse fails to initialize under Ubuntu Lucid.
On an old P4 dell laptop I have an USB mouse which I use with a converter for the PS2 port as my USB ports are jammed.
The bug manifested itself with the release of Ubuntu Lucid and kernel 2.6.32, it was not present in 6.31 or any lower kernel version. The mouse in question is:
ID 046d:c00e Logitech, Inc. M-BJ58/M-BJ69 Optical Wheel Mouse
Symptoms of the bug:
When the system loads, the mouse is inactive, cursor can't be moved, scroll too. The device however is powered as I can see the mouse's lights go up.
If I unplug and plug back again the mouse from the PS2 port, it gets detected and I can operate with it, however the scroll does not work. To fully enable the mouse I to have unplug/plug again and issue "rmmod psmouse" and "modprobe psmouse" to restore complete functionality of the mouse.
If the mouse is connected to a USB port, no such problems occur.
It appears this strictly pertains to the PS port.
Relevant dmesg information:
[ 19.314107] input: PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse as /devices/
[ 97.687346] input: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse as /devices/

I believe this to be an all-around kernel issue and not Ubuntu specific per se.
Its very, very annoying unplugging your mouse back and forth every time your system boots.
Let me know if I can be of more assistance.

Hi Zack,
If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
