Hi,
I've been experiencing lately some weird mouse behavior: all of a
sudden, mouse simply goes off, and even though X11 remains responsive
(keyboard works), it usually leaves me no option besides killing X11
with CTRL+ALT+BKSP -- which often makes me lose some work. Restarting X
brings mouse back up again, as if nothing had happened.
Mouse is MS IntelliMouse Wheel Optical, graphics board is a GeForce4
Ti4200, XFree is latest version (4.3.0-55), NVidia drivers are also
latest (5336).
I had the same problem with my MS cordless Intellimouse. It started
soon after the XFree86 upgrade. I could press the transmitter and the
mouse reset buttons, and it would come back for a while, then hang.
Sometimes it would come back on its own. I replaced it with a corded
Logitech Optical Mouse, and it has been rock solid for over a week. I
have an ATI Radeon, and I'm using the standard XFree86 driver.
There is a button on the Logitech usb cordless mouse and also a restet
small button on the mouse itself. If you switch over to Micro-soft it
will work, then if you reboot, you might have a change that it works. At
least do mouseconfig under init 3
