mouse does not worked at core-image-sato in morty

[mickey-happygolucky]

Hello.

I tried to use core-image-sato with vc4graphics. Sato is booted however mouse pointer does not moved in spite of mouse is moved.

I added the following line to my local.conf. It seems to work fine.

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " xf86-input-evdev"

I think xf86-input-evdev should be included IMAGE_INSTALL or dependencies to core-image-sato or else...

Would you let me know your opinion. Thanks.

The BSP is not maintaining that component and how the input driver is deployed. This issue should be directed to the yocto/poky/oe-core mailing list.

mmm...

but other platform is not happend such a problem. for exapmle meta-ti, xf86-input-evdev is included XSERVER varibale in omap4.inc. Such as follows.

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/xserver = "xserver-xorg"
XSERVER = "xserver-xorg \
           xserver-xorg-module-exa \
           xf86-input-evdev \
           xf86-video-omap"

It really oe-core's issue? Whether xf86-input-evdev should be used or not depends on the board?

I know already workaround. So I think that you do not have to fix meta-raspberypi by force.

Thanks.

We can address this in meta-raspberry too by adding this package to the XSERVER too. This will fix your problem so feel free to send a patch to mailing list.

[mickey-happygolucky]

I should have send the patch to mailing list. I am sorry, I do not know whether it was successfully transmitted.

[agherzan]

@schnitzeltony what do you think about this?

[mickey-happygolucky]

Discussion is ongoing in mailing list. It seems that the problem was that meta-raspberrypi did not correspond to the following oe-core's commit.

xorg-xserver recommends xf86-input-libinput since oe-core's commit

I think it will be accepted Andreas Müller's patch. I just want the mouse to work on core-image-sato, so that's fine.

Thanks.

Current changes in master should get this back working. Can you give it a try?

[mickey-happygolucky]

Sorry I'm late. I tried in master. It works fine! thanks!!

By the way, would you fix it in morty branch?

[agherzan]

@mickey-happygolucky Would you be able to cherry pick the needed patches from master and send a PR to morty? That would help.

[mickey-happygolucky]

I tried cherry-pick the 52bec45b into morty. However mouse does not work.

I checked a log in a meta directory(oe-core). I realized that a1668c8721709f3d1bc0078737514111e1985bdd is not in the oe-core in morty. It seems 52bec45b depends on a1668c8721709f3d1bc0078737514111e1985bdd.

I don't know what I should do...

I think easiest way to make mouse work in morty is revert c4055817.(It is workaround.)

Do you have any ideas?

[agherzan]

Hi @mickey-happygolucky . I would take this to the mailing list but my recommendation would be to push a commit to morty which adds a bbeppend xserver-xorg which includes xf86-input-libinput in XSERVER_RRECOMMENDS.

[mickey-happygolucky]

Hello @agherzan . Thanks for your reply.

I have opened a PR according to your advice. Would you check it out?

[agherzan]

Thanks @mickey-happygolucky . Looks good. Would I ask too much to push the commits to the mailing list? This is the official way of pushing commits for meta-raspberrypi as stated in README. In this way more people will have a chance of reviewing this change.

[mickey-happygolucky]

Hello @agherzan .

Okay I sent patches to yoctoproject mailing list. I hope help to fix this problem. Thanks.
