From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10 Description of problem: If I play Unreal Tournament 2004 or DOOM 3 after only a couple minutes my mouse will stop working. Keyboard continues to work, but all mouse activity is lost. If I exit the game, the mouse is not working in X either. I can get the mouse to start working again by switching to virtual terminal 1 via ctrl-alt-f1 and then back to 7 via ctrl-alt-f7 I have been unable to make the mouse fail in any other way other than playing these 2 games. I have switched mice from the original Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer to the newer Microsoft (version of the same thing but with only 3 buttons and wheel, 20 dollar version) and the error occured with both. Both times using USB mice. Dell Dimension 8300 P4 3.0 Ghz 800 Mhz FSB 1 Gb ddr 400 RAM nvidia geforce 4 titanium (128 Mb) soundblaster live 5.1 onboard ethernet latest drivers from nvidia 6.111 latest patches for FC 2 This bug is reproduceable 100% of the time by launching either game and playing for 1 to 5 minutes. I believe issue is either with... 1) my X configuration 2) something USB related 3) perhaps a service i turned off? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.7.0-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. launch X 2. launch either UT2004 or DOOM3 3. start a game , play for a couple minutes and the mouse stops working Actual Results: No mouse input accepted Expected Results: mouse should continue to work Additional info: Games dont seem to produce a error message. Only error in boot log is mdmpd failing to load.

As reported in bug #132471, this problem went away when the PCs bios was upgraded and PS2 mouse support disabled.
