I'm getting these usb mouse freezes everytime I boot, after anywhere from 5-30 minutes the mouse goes out and I have to unplug the mouse and kill X, this mouse is a necessity for me as the ps/2 mouse is from the mid 90's and is not of much use to me. Also, I think last time it happened, my other USB device also died on me, i'll have to check that out more. Any help is invited as I havn't seemed to get any yet :( ----- Original Message ----- From: "K sPecial" <kspecial@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: xfree86@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: X freaks and cant' be killed (new updated version) Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 01:41:01 +0800 > > Well I have seemed to pinpointed the problem down to my USB mouse, > one thing I forgot to mention is that when the mouse would freeze, > X windows was still active and I could use keyboard shortcuts to > move around.
