Cheers, Peter Hi Peter, That makes sense. Do you know of any kernel log I should look into to see that error? Can I look for something in dmesg? not 100% sure, sorry. best to file a kernel bug.

Cheers, Peter To get the mouse to work, most of the time I have to unplug the USB adapter and replug it, although sometimes I need to switch it with the keyboard USB adapter. I am not sure why and how as it does not always happen. I know of at least one other person with similar symptoms. As for my configuration, I am running Arch Linux with a 3.4 Linux kernel, xorg-server 1.12.2, evdev 2.7.0. My mouse is a Logitech performance MX with a USB wireless unifying receiver. My keyboard is a diNovo keyboard with a USB bluetooth receiver. Xorg is auto-started by kdm which is started by systemd. Here is my log: http://pastebin.com/pWnHwF2d In this one I cold started the computer, then got no mouse so I unplugged / replugged the receiver but nothing so then I switched they keyboard and mouse receivers and then it worked. Everything was working fine before shutting down the computer though.
