Mouse no longer works after installing leetmouse-driver-dkms

Support AUR

I made the huge mistake of installing a new mouse driver (leetmouse-driver-dkms). It went and updated all my kernels. I can still boot, but the mouse no longer works.
How can I fix this?

if your issue is that you cannot point and click to open a terminal - I suggest you use the famous TTY switch and assuming the package name is as you wrote

  • Press CtrlAltF4
  • Login using your username/password combo
  • then remove the package leetmouse-driver-dkms
    sudo pacman -Rns leetmouse-driver-dkms

reboot your system

reboot

I managed to fix this using a rescue shell and a backup of the kernels.

Thanks, that’s even better than my approach.

@nhazadian I’ve updated your topic title to reflect the actual issue. :wink:

Sounds like it might be your first time installing DKMS modules. Please learn about what they do.

True. Good idea. Thanks.
