I originally filed a bug report with Red Hat about this issue almost a 
year ago:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183454

When I was running FC4, I had no problems with my system.  When I 
started testing FC5, I started having problems with my Logitech optical 
USB mouse.  Originally, if the mouse was left idle, it would stop 
working until I switched to a vt, out of X, and then back.  With current 
FC6 kernels, the mouse still has problems, but it normally just causes a 
whole bunch of key repeats if I'm typing at the time (notably, the 
keyboard is PS/2!).

This system has other quirks, too.  It has USB ports on the front of the 
case, but I can't use a USB memory stick in them unless I remove the 
ehci_hcd module.  The ports on the back of the system accept the memory 
stick when ehci_hcd is still loaded.

I'm sure the problem isn't the mouse, since I can use it in my X40 and a 
Dell Precision 380.  I don't know if the root of the problem is a bad 
motherboard (Intel D845PEBT2, latest BIOS) or Linux, or the compiler...  
I do know that if I use the latest kernel published for FC4 
(kernel-2.6.17-1.2142_FC4), the mouse still works right.  If I use any 
kernel published for a newer Fedora system, I get the reset message.

I saw this issue brought up on the list recently:

...but I didn't see any resolution to the issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
