I have a Dimension E521 and have experienced the same problems as everyone else. I have my mouse and keyboard attached to the usb ports in the back. I am using Dapper and when I boot the Dapper linux kernel 2.6.15-27 the mouse and keyboard is frozen at GDM.
Last night I tried booting Ubuntu Dapper kernel 2.6.15-27 with the boot option pci=routeirq. After booting the mouse and keyboard were both active and usable. I haven't tried it for too long, it may still freeze after a while, but those still using Dapper may want to give this try. It would also be good to see if it works for Edgy. I haven't had a chance to upgrade to Edgy yet but others who have may want to try it. Hope this helps and goodluck, Sean. -- Mouse pointer freezes in Dell Dimension E521 / nForce 430 https://launchpad.net/bugs/67734 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
