Guest dexx Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I have a Targus optical mini-mouse with a retractable cord. And it has previously worked fine with all linux distros (including earlier versjons of Mdk), but yesterday I installed MDK 10.1, and my mouse freezes about every five to eitght minutes. I have to plug it out and reconnect it for it to work again.

And as you can see there are no other thiings or errors beeing logged at the same time. Does anyone have any ideas? If this has been answered earlier I apologize, I have given google and the search function on th is board an honest go for a while now and can't figure it out :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest susy Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I've seen exactly the same thing on my SuSE laptop (kernel 2.6.8; suse 9.2). I was wondering if you found any solution to it. One thing I can say, is that I found something quicker than un- & replugging, by making a shortcut (win-Z) in KDE that calls the following script: #!/bin/bash /sbin/modprobe -r usbhid /sbin/modprobe usbhid A bit of a hack, but better than the whole plugging business. I noticed that this does not work so well for my wireless USB mouse, but works great with a corded one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Could it be that the mouse is timing out, I was mucking about with the kernel the other day and noticed an option to disable/enable usb timeouts. I don't remember if it was in the kernel itself or a feature of udev but it may be worth exploring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
