Description Kurt Jaeger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-10-21 11:09:47 UTC 
While using the scroll wheel of a PS/2 mouse, the X server suddenly started to
toggle and log between two mouse protocols:

[...]
[672161.994] (II) Mouse autoprobe: Changing protocol to ExplorerPS/2
[672161.994] (II) Mouse autoprobe: Changing protocol to ImPS/2
[672161.995] (II) Mouse autoprobe: Changing protocol to ExplorerPS/2
[672161.995] (II) Mouse autoprobe: Changing protocol to ImPS/2
[672161.995] (II) Mouse autoprobe: Changing protocol to ExplorerPS/2
[...]

This filled approx. 1.2 GB (18mio lines) in approx. 8 minutes and caused X to be unusable. A kill -9 on the X process caused the display to be unusable
(reboot was necessary).

for the Xorg.log.0 and

http://people.freebsd.org/~pi/misc/mouse-pkg.txt

for the list of installed packages. It's a 10.1-RC2 amd64 with NEW_XORG.
If more details are needed, I can try to reproduce it.

I assume your xserver is built with the HAL option (chosen by default)?

If you can reproduce this, could you please try to rebuild xserver with DEVD instead of HAL and see if the problem continues?

Not very easily. This will take some time.

I build the new pkg, installed it, and now have to check if the issue comes up again.

Did your problem resurface?
