Comment on Having trouble with mouse software

rtxn@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

I had the same issue with the MX Master 3S. It’s caused by the hi-res scroll wheel feature of Logitech’s HID++. If you have a Bolt dongle, try using that instead of Bluetooth.

If that’s not a fix, try blacklisting the hid-logitech-hidpp kernel module.

Arch wiki article about module blacklisting: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_module#Blacklisti…
About kernel parameters in GRUB (should be the default option in Bazzite): wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters#GRUB

The easiest way to do it in GRUB is to open the /etc/default/grub file with root privileges, find the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=…, insert module_blacklist=hid-logitech-hidpp to the end separated by a single space, save the file, then run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg. This is assuming that Bazzite’s GRUB is configured the same way as Arch. I’ll try it in a VM and edit the comment as necessary.

No dice :/

This is my original grub file:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet" GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true

I added:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="module_blacklist=hid-logitech-hidpp"

and that didn’t work.

I also tried this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet" "module_blacklist=hid-logitech-hidpp"

and that didn’t work.

Either I’m formatting this incorrectly, or my setup is different somehow.

  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet module_blacklist=hid-logitech-hidpp"
  
  and don’t forget to run sudo grub2-makecfg -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to apply the changes. When you reboot, press e on the GRUB screen to make sure the boot parameters are passed correctly.

    Still not working :/
    
    I looked at the boot parameters and the blacklist was not on there, so I typed it it and booted and it still didn’t work.

    Hmm… this might break the OS completely, but you could delete the module’s binary files. Can’t load it if it doesn’t exist in the first place.
    
    Run find /lib/modules -iname ‘*hidpp*’ and move the files to a location where you can recover them later if needed, then reboot.

I can’t wait to try this when I get home today. I can’t thank you enough for the details. I’ll let you know how it goes later.

if you have a Bolt dongle, try using that instead of Bluetooth.

I use the unifying receiver that came with the mouse.
