I am currently trying to use an HP X3000 wireless mouse on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (64-bit). I purchased this mouse in 2018 (about 5 years ago). Just recently it stopped working, and I don't know why.
When I execute lsusb
in the terminal, the dongle is properly detected:
lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04f3:250e Elan Microelectronics Corp. Touchscreen
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1bcf:2c9b Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc. HP TrueVision HD Camera
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 8087:0aa7 Intel Corp. Wireless-AC 3168 Bluetooth
Bus 001 Device 011: ID 3938:1031 MOSART Semi. 2.4G Wireless Mouse <----(This is the mouse!)
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
I have verified that when I unplug the dongle, this listing disappears, and when I plug it back in it reappears. Therefore I believe it is being detected.
The mouse itself has a new battery in it, and the lights all seem to be fine. I have restarted it many times, and have pressed the small 'connect' button many times as well.
When I run xinput
, the USB mouse does not seem to appear.
$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ xwayland-pointer:17 id=6 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ xwayland-relative-pointer:17 id=7 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ xwayland-pointer-gestures:17 id=8 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ xwayland-touch:17 id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ xwayland-keyboard:17 id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
Therefore it seems that the mouse and dongle, while both separately 'working', are not communicating properly. Any suggestions? I might just try buying a new mouse since they really don't cost much. But I'm still curious.
