Since your computer is still detecting the receiver you have a hardware issue and not a Linux issue. Are you sure the "new" battery is actually good? Replace it again and see if the problem goes away. My Microsoft wireless mouse(s) (I have several) have a button on top of the receiver and on the bottom of the mouse. Pressing those apparently resets the connection in some way. I have found that when my mouse battery dies I get no warning at all. The cursor just suddenly stops moving on the screen. The first few times it happened I assumed that the computer had locked up in some way, in fact, particularly because the little red light on the bottom of the mouse was still on as normal. But all it takes to get it going again is to put a new battery into the mouse and generally it's not necessary to push the reset buttons on the mouse and the receiver. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
