Wired trackball fails while on battery power (module unload issue?)
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I have a wired trackball which identifies itself through lsusb as...
Bus 003 Device 013: ID 047d:1022 Kensington Orbit Optical
This device is perfectly functional when my Dell Q15R (N5110) is
powered from the mains, but when running on battery, the device lasts
something like 10 seconds before being disabled.
Unplugging and replugging the trackball gets you another 10 seconds.
Keeping moving the pointer can sustain the function of the trackball,
until you leave the pointer still for 10 seconds, and then it's
disabled.
Plugging the mains back in and replugging the trackball means the
trackball keeps functioning indefinitely.
I don't know what kind of power module unload is built in to 12.04. Is
it possible that something is being unloaded which shouldn't be? Any
suggestions for workarounds? I'd really like to be able to use my
trackball when running on battery.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1060029] Re: Wired trackball fails while on battery power (module unload issue?)
This remains with a different kernel (3.11) and a totally different
laptop, bios and trackball (though it's an identical model - I have
two). I don't think the model is that relevant, as it also applies to a
generic USB keyboard I'm using.
I'm now in a position to replicate the bug on two different laptops - a
Toshiba R600 and a Dell N5110 eliminating the BIOS issue as a possible
cause I think.
It's been a latent bug for me as it's a rare occasion that I'm using
external keyboard and trackball WITHOUT power - normally those things go
together when I'm docked at a desk in the office. However, I just
rediscovered the bug when a colleague removed my power without me
noticing.
Another line of investigation is the use of powertop scripts for auto-unloading
of USB modules as listed in the duplicate bug I've filed...
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1215476
...though this is expected to 'just work' and indeed the bug remains even when
auto-unloading is explicitly deactivated (though there may be a bug there I
suppose - the power/control sys bus files report that the unloading config has
changed from 'auto' to 'on', but it still seems to disconnect the devices).

cefn, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/inspiron-
15r-n5110 an update is available for your BIOS (A11). If you update to
this, does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of
the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Thank you for your understanding.
