Guest fat_larry Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 About every 20-40 minutes my USB mouse will seize up and not respond to anything. I've tried plugging in directly into my motherboard and also my USB hub but get the same problem. If I unplug the mouse and the plug it back in, it works fine again. Any ideas?

dalee Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Hi, Just a guess here, but I think that I would suspect the mouse itself. It sounds to me as if there is an intermittent "short" in the connection and when you replug it in, it works again. Or, I could be totally wrong. dalee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fat_larry Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Mouse works flawlessly in windows, that's why I'm suspicious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalee Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Hi, Ok, some more guesses. Perhaps the brand isn't totally compatible with Mandrake. Some people have had trouble with Microsoft mice for example. I use a Logitech optical usb with no trouble. I would try to borrow a different mouse to try and narrow down some possibilities. Can you check your logs to see what the usb bus is doing? I have an ALi usb hub that is a little bit flaky under windoze, but works great under Mandrake. Unfortunatly, I've noticed that identical hardware sometimes behaves differently on different machines for no good reason that I can see. Just a few more guesses, dalee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
