Comment 29 for bug 156085

I have a Trust media center keyboard with builtin trackball. After a reboot, suddenly the trackball responded very sluggish, like with a ball-mouse (not optical I mean) with dirty wheels inside. But it couldn't be dirty yet, it is brand new. I noticed earlier that usbview did not work, but used to under Gutsy. I mounted the /proc/bus/usb filesystem, with mount -t usbfs procbususb /proc/bus/usb and instantly the trackball is working again. Usbview too.

Whatever the thinking is about /proc/bus/usb, the change that was made to it broke my mouse (well trackball) and probably breaks the X window experience for lots of Gutsy users.

Also there should be a better program than just usbview in Gnome to work with usb devices. usbview is very limited. And ugly.
