From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061107 Fedora/1.5.0.8-1.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.8 Description of problem: The mouse will unpredictably lock up while using X (and by some reports it locks up during console use). Running KDE here. It will lock up at varying intervals, but all seem to be less than one hour. The only method to unlock the mouse is to remove it from the USB port briefly and re-insert it. This is a Dual Core Athlon 5000+. This does not seem to be specific to Fedora, but does seem to be specific to AMD64 Dual Cores and the Nvidia Chipset.. There's a thread on the Ubuntu forums with the same problem: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/67734 and also in FreeBSD: http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:Bg2IaQ8xIa8J:www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-usb%40freebsd.org/msg00938.html+dell+e521+mouse+freeze&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&strip=1 Some seem to claim by hooking mouse through external hub solves the problem, but that doesn't seem acceptable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use mouse for no longer than an hour. (most likely 15 minutes or so) 2. Watch mouse lock. Actual Results: Mouse locks up. Expected Results: Mouse shouldn't lock up.

I also have an AMD64 X2 ona n ASUS mainboard with onboard NVidia Geforece 6. My mouse will keep moving the pointer, but its button clicks stop doing anything. This was happening before I started using the nvidia proprietary drivers, and still happens while using them. These incidents are assoicated with these messages in the xorg.0.log file: (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory) (II) No APM support in BIOS or kernel (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "nvidia-auto-select" (II) <default pointer>: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded (II) 3rd Button detected: disabling emulate3Button
Hello. This bug is *serious* because it happens with all nforce 430 chipsets. The problem seems to be with that specifc chipset. This bug is a duplicate of: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201445 Here is a lot of info about this issue: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=136879&page=1&pp=15 https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/67734 http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=sw_other&message.id=54328&view=by_date_ascending&page=1 I have a Dell Dimension C521 (AMD processor and the nforce 430 chipset) with the same problem (mouse freezes often). The only way to work with the mouse is to unplug and plug it again. I´d be happy to provide any info from my machine to help solve this problem. Cheers

Just a head's up, I'm seeing the same issue on RHEL5 Beta 2 with a Sager 9750 (Clevo D900K) laptop with an AMD X2 4800+, but this laptop doesn't have a nvidia chipset (it uses a VIA K8T890CE).
