I am facing the problem described in the thread: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2342985



It affects the Logitech trackman wheel & the Keyboard.



And my problem is that I don't know how to do the : quirk HID_QUIRK_ALWAYS_POLL (0x00000400), which is mentioned in the above link.



where should i look to find the proper file in order to change something? I am using Ubuntu Mate.



lsusb for the 2 devices gives:




Bus 002 Device 009: ID 046d:c404 Logitech, Inc. TrackMan Wheel



Bus 002 Device 010: ID 0a81:0205 Chesen Electronics Corp. PS/2 Keyboard+Mouse Adapter




tlp-stat -u for the 2 devices gives:

I think the problem is not related with autosuspend, but rather with buffer overflow for the specific devices due to that they are not supported in the kernel code.



Can you please help?



Regards

This is unfortunately not an answer, but rather points to start looking to another direction, i.e. BIOS. Even though the USB trackball is detected within Ubuntu Mate when executing lsusb command, the trackball misbehaves probably due to an issue with BIOS. Check the output of the following command, especially the lines at the end.



$ dmesg | grep 2-1.2

    IMO this is important, so I am posting it



    For some reason the Trackball is alive - for at least 20' so far - so I executed the command dmesg | grep 2-1.2 again to check what it gives on the output when the trackball functions properly:

        This is unfortunately not an answer, but rather points to start looking to another direction, i.e. BIOS. Even though the USB trackball is detected within Ubuntu Mate when executing lsusb command, the trackball misbehaves probably due to an issue with BIOS. Check the output of the following command, especially the lines at the end.



        $ dmesg | grep 2-1.2

                For some reason the Trackball is alive - for at least 20' so far - so I executed the command dmesg | grep 2-1.2 again to check what it gives on the output when the trackball functions properly:

                    IMO this is important, so I am posting it



                    For some reason the Trackball is alive - for at least 20' so far - so I executed the command dmesg | grep 2-1.2 again to check what it gives on the output when the trackball functions properly:
