From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: I have a USB mouse: Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM) After a few minutes of activity, the mouse stops working. It is an optical mouse, and the light goes off. Unplugging the mouse and then plugging it back in causes it to work again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.20-18.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run X 2.Web browse and use an xterm 3.Witness the doom of the mouse
Created attachment 98296 [details] dmesg output This shows the dmesg output including the output from a few hangs and reinserts of the mouse.
Created attachment 98297 [details] lsusb output lsusb output, hopefully including some useful information about the mouse. It is plugged into the front of the PC.
Created attachment 98298 [details] XFree86.0.log The X log file, maybe there is some interaction with X that causes this?
X just reads data from /dev/input/mice and does not control the USB hardware directly. It's unlikely to be a problem with interaction with X IMHO, because X just uses standard kernel interfaces. If it requires unplugging the device and plugging it back in, it sounds like something is broken in kernel-driver land IMHO.
