Found a bug with my gaming gear

Found a bug with my gaming gear

[André Kunz]

Hey there guys,

This is my first kernel "bug" report ever, so please bear with me if I
didn't catch the precise right way to report this.

The bug I've found:

I'm running stable kernel 6.6.1-1 and as soon as I install it, many of
my mouse's hardware buttons stop working. I have a Logitech G502 X Plus
(it's a wireless mouse). As soon as I install 6.6.1 the mouse's hardware
buttons won't work, i.e. only the two side-buttons would work, not the
buttons (and/or my created profiles/macros) would. I have a few macros
assigned to some buttons, which work perfectly fine under 6.5.11 (and
earlier), but as soon as I'm on 6.6 they'd stop working.

Just wanted to report this and I hope there can be a fix.

I hope this email was not too much out of the ordinary.

Have a great evening guys!

Best,
André

You might want to notify the linux-input mailing list, as the developers
there should be able to help you out as they are the ones working on
that portion of the kernel.

I've added them to the cc: here.

thanks,

For starters lets collect some logs and see if that explains
anything.

Can you do the following:

1. Boot the working 6.5.11, wiggle the mouse (so that it connects)
and the run:

dmesg > dmesg-6.5.11.txt

2. Boot the non working 6.6.1, wiggle the mouse and run:

dmesg > dmesg-6.6.1.txt

And then attach both generated dmesg-...txt files to your next email ?

Regards,

Hans

Thanks for the regression report. I'm adding it to regzbot:

#regzbot ^introduced: v6.5..v6.6
#regzbot title: only two side buttons of Logitech G502 X Plus works on kernel 6.6.1
