(Note: I'm still using it on RH72, not FC1) AFter some experimentation I found that I could run: (/usr/local/bin/fixmouse) #!/bin/sh echo You must be root to do this\! rmmod usb-uhci modprobe usb-uhci and the mouse would come back to life. It tends to happen only when I'm playing some games (shoot-em-ups, e.g.) that requite a LOT of mouse activity. > > 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 can't really precise if this started happening after latest X update > -- been using this configuration for a while already, and never > experienced any such problems.
