Hi list,
I've been using FreeBSD on the desktop for several years now without
any major problems. However, as of lately, I've been running into a
very annoying problem. I'll try to explain:
I play some OpenGL games on FreeBSD and have always played them
without trouble. However, now I can't play my game of election
(Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory) for more than 20 or 30 minutes. The
same thing is happening over and over (and this is the weird part):
The game will stop responding to most keys, and the ones that do
respond, output rubbish characters. The mouse dies. I can
CTRL-ALT-F1, login, and kill the game - the keyboard works on the
console!
Then I get back to KDE (CTRL-ALT-F2). The keyboard is useless at this
point, as typing something will result in something else. The mouse
moves, but I can't maximise windows (seems to ignore double click)
and stuff. CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and logging in again solves the problem.
Now, the only thing that I've changed in the last month was a new
piece of hardware - a Logitech G5 mouse (connected via USB). After
giving it some thought, this problem started a few days after I
purchased the mouse. I can't see how this could be related to what is
happening with me, but it's the only thing I remind changing.
I was running 6.0-RELEASE-p5, and have upgraded to 6.1-RELEASE and
xorg-6.9.0, kde-3.5.1, in the hopes that it would probably fix this.
Unfortunately, the situation remains.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem at all ? I didn't even try
google as I have no idea of what I'm after..
Sounds like some kind of buffer overrun problem, some memory
allocation problem in the driver(?)
JK
I thought about something like this too, but what I can't explain is why
it only started happening when I got the new mouse (and most likely
after the "usb0: host controller process error" error, altough I can't
say for sure - and if this was the cause, howcome it persists across
reboots? I never got the error anymore (ok.. maybe 1 time).).
There isn't a special driver for this mouse, and the previous one was
also detected as ums0 (a Logitech MX 700). I am 100% sure that I didn't
touch any configuration at all, anywhere, when this started to happen.
Thoughts, ideas, maybe someone who's been through the same, altough I
find it highly unlikely ?
Some random info:

uhid0: Logitech USB Gaming Mouse, rev 2.00/46.00, addr 2, iclass 3/1
--> I cannot remember exactly if this problem only occured after this:
usb0: host controller process error
(happened a few weeks ago for the first time)
^^ My mouse died during a gaming session, and after some
investigation, I found that error message. Restarting the computer
was the only way I found to get USB support functional again. I'm not
sure, but it could have started happening ONLY after I experienced
this error for the first time.
That's all, I guess. Let me know if you have some clues..
