hello,
I'm getting the feeling that there is something wrong in the hardware.
Let make a small overview when the problem occurs.
I started in the England in the cold house full of moisture. It happens when I
was working in the bed with computer on the blanket. Then it froze when I work
on the table in the room when the doors and window where open frequently.. but
generally the room has been cold. Sometimes not but mostly yes.
Back in Prague relatively normal weather and cozy in the house... no problem so
far for almost 2 months.
The weather goes down and so the heater is on all the time forcing me to close
and open the window often.
That time I realized that the mouse sort of reacts to it.
When the temperature suddenly changes {goes down} the mouse freezes. As I
wrote earlier the solution in most cases is to wait, a while or longer, then it
fixes it self.
It has been the same couple minutes ago I have started to write this post. The
computer was frozen, this time completely, so I rebooted it couple times
changing the kernel from rc4 to rc3.. no changes.. mouse in 99% unresponsive.
So I went ahead and did some keyboard tricks open the browser found this thread
and write this review.... As I'm writing the window closed the mouse started to
work again.
Let my summarize it a bit. The mouse frozen when the computer laid in the beat
the fan most likely covered the computer covered from many places by the
blanket .. in such a case the moisture comes up naturally.
Then in the kitchen with high moisture with heat on from time to time while
cooking or the heater was scheduled for.
And now while I'm opening the window it freezes again.
And also I have read many people mentioning that the problem occurs when they
where with the laptop in the bed.
What do you think of it?
(Btw the mouse is fine now :) .. took about 5-10 minutes to recover.)

Mouse freezes from time to time. The touchpad as well as external
mouse.

Bug description:
On Lenovo Thinkpad L530 with XUBUNTU 12.10 the mouse randomly freezes.
(this behavior is reported on Thinkpad L520 and some Dell and Asus devices
http://askubuntu.com/questions/127884/touchpad-stops-working-after-suspend-on-lenovo-t520)
The problem has most likely something to do with this issue
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-
synaptics/+bug/896922 where I have been asked to fire new report.
I have tried so far...
The bug occur on Xubuntu 12.04, CrunchBang(debian) as also Xubuntu 12.10
I found some advices all around like install the gpointing-device-settings
where some people suggest to turn off "smart mouse selection.. don't remember
exactly the name. This feature is not found on Xubuntu, but Ubuntu.
I played bit with the settings, nothing helped so far.
I also tried use sudo modprobe -r psmouse which seams to help a bit from time
to time, but not always..
Sometimes the mouse is unlocked from the total freeze to a shaky slow moves.
But because this command helps only for touchpads and not external devices, it
is not much of use.. It doesn't solve the problem completely anyway.
I found the advice here:
http://xpapad.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/dealing-with-mouse-and-touchpad-freezes-in-linux/
(I got the same errors in log as he mentioned in his post.)
I also tried disable the touchpad by: xinput -set-prop 'Virtual core XTEST
pointer' 'Device Enabled' 0
This loges me out of session in an instant.
I also found a tread where someone suggested update the kernel above
3.4.8 so I updated the kernel to 3.6.2-030602-generic, but with no
luck with that either... though I must say the problem occurs "less
often".
Some people say it happens it has something to do with temperature,... or the
fan .. because it happens quite often when they work in bed... it happens to me
in such a cases more often then usual, though it might be just quincidence
..depends where we sit more often :)
The temperature never went too high.. I think.. it is always about 44-60C
I have not found any way how to solve this problem, The restart won't help
either.
Couple more restarts might helps.. if it is related with the heat then it
makes sense .. at least to me.
thanks for help 2046
