I tried acpi=force irqpoll on my feisty 7.04(2.6.20-16-generic) and the trackpoint still freezes up randomly.
to better describe my problem(not sure if other people will relate): if I use the mouse immediately at startup, it seems to keep working so long as I keep moving it. then if I let it sit for a little while and do some typing or perhaps use my alternate usb mouse without moving the trackpoint for a period of anywhere between 10 seconds to a minute and THEN try to use the trackpoint it will not register any on-screen cursor movement for a second or two, and then it will start working like normal. That is, until I stop using for a period again and then the delayed response is even longer(maybe 3 seconds). In other words, there might be correlation between how long you leave the mouse untouched and the delay of having it "wake up" the mouse(if it ever wakes up...most often it doesn't). Also, there may be something limiting the number of times the mouse can "wake up", which could give it that sense of "it happens randomly". to reiterate: I've *never* had the mouse freeze while I was using it. only after leaving it alone for a little while. and maybe I can get it back if i haven't waited too long but with a response delay. Just like the other folks in this report, i never had a problem with dapper. also, the problem may or may not be linked to the USB versions of the hardware. my regular USB mouse which is always plugged directly into the computer is USB 1.1A, and I can't find any USB version specification for the keyboard/touchpad/trackpoint combo keyboard I'm having trouble with, but perhaps there is some incompatibility due to different USB versions being used within it. (this is just a shot in the dark, who really knows) Do let me know if it's worth trying out the gutsy tribe 5 release -- Feisty: usb mouse stops working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
