Hallo!
I have a strange problem with the mouse freezing on an Asus L5000.
I experienced the mouse freezing on every installation I did, so I don't
think
it's a version or distro problem.
Interesting thing is that, if I plug the mouse out and in again, dmesg
shows
it as it would work.
It does not matter on what usb port I plug in.
I cannot believe that the board should be fault again... especially as the
mouse always works on windows... - I forgot that it is a dual boot
install.
(I've hesitated to reply, as I don't know what I'm talking about, but ...)
When the mouse dies, switch to a terminal window and run "cat
/dev/input/mice" and move your mouse around; does it produce garbage on the
screen? (Ctrl-C to quit.) It should. If not, that indicates that the mouse
"driver" is being "unloaded" at a fundamental level.
My gut instinct is that something like udev is "unloading" the mouse after a
while of inactivity; it should "reload" it, as I understand things, when
needed.
