random mouse hangs
I'm running etch on amd64. The last few weeks, my mouse would stop responding for a few seconds. I switched to another mouse - same thing. Now i have to unplug (it's usb) and plug it back in to get the pointer to move again. I've tried 3 different usb ports. Keyboard works fine the whole time. It seems like a software problem, but it's not happening on my home machine (also running etch on amd64). Has anyone else experienced this? -- Tom Vier [EMAIL PROTECTED] DSA Key ID 0x15741ECE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is gpm involved? Two ways to fix it: Adjust config of xserver-xorg; Install gpm, which isn't a bad idea anyway, and the config of that gives comprehensive treatment of usb mice.

Regards, I had a intermittent USB mouse/keyboard non-responding prob and it turned out to be due to me allowing the BIOS to overclock my AMD64 chip -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Perhaps we could get the 'usual' sources out of the way first, before we need to dig any deeper. Regards, David Palmer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
