Arch Linux

What is dmesg output for both 4.18.1-arch and the old kernel without the issue?

Sorry. I can't use the old kernel, I can use only the new kernel 4.18.1.

I have instaled xf86-input-mouse and tried install xf86-input-evdev but without success because not works.

I'm having the same issue (duplicate task  FS#59699 ). I've also filed a bug upstream https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59698

I can also replicate the issue on kernel 4.18.2.

The same issue on kernel 4.18.3

Found a temporary fix (with MiMouse in my case):
In /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/70-mouse.rules before line
ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}=="", GOTO="mouse_end"
add
ATTRS{name}=="MiMouse Mouse", ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}="1"
and then switch off the mouse, run
# systemctl restart bluetooth
(or restart the system) switch on the mouse, it should work.

Attribute name="MiMouse Mouse" I've got from
# udevadm info -a -n /dev/input/event19
and device name "/dev/input/event19" from
# evtest

My Kingston Expert Wireless trackball is also affected. No pointer movement under kernel 4.18.3.arch1-1.
I've attached the bluetooth journalctl output for working (4.17.11-6-ck) and broken (4.18.3.arch1-1).

Upstream bug reports describing the same issues with some USB mice and trackballs.

You can use for any wireless mouse, to do this just connect your wireless mouse usb or bluetootn, run dmesg and locate the last line that have "hid-generic" and copy the name between [ ] e.g. [MI Dongle MI Wireless Mouse] then fallow the steps above adding ATTRS{name}=="MI Dongle MI Wireless Mouse Mouse", ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}="1" in the file /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/70-mouse.rules before the line ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}=="", GOTO="mouse_end". Remember, you need add "Mouse" after your mouse ID e.g. "MI Dongle MI Wireless Mouse Mouse".

You can add how many wireless mouses you want.

E.g. For Xiaomi Mi Mouse usb and bluetooth connections:
ACTION=="remove", GOTO="mouse_end"
KERNEL!="event*", GOTO="mouse_end"
ATTRS{name}=="MiMouse Mouse", ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}="1"
ATTRS{name}=="MI Dongle MI Wireless Mouse Mouse", ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}="1"
ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}=="", GOTO="mouse_end"

Thank's to Vyacheslav Konovalov (vyachkonovalov).

This has been fixed upstream in the https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10587369/ patch. I've submitted a fix to NixOS that fixes this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/46061 This can be fixed by applying the patch to core/linux.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git/commit/?h=for-4.19/fixes&id=0d6c3011409135ea84e2a231b013a22017ff999a

Can this patch be added in 4.18 package? Wireless mouses are very common and it is very unfortunate to wait until 4.19 using 4.17 to avoid the issue.

It has been applied since 4.18.6.arch1-1
