Usb Mouse Stops Working Again

[enginbahadir]

Hi. This my first message. And my first problem with ubuntu until september 2009 :)

Problem is my mouse, or driver i'm not sure. Ubuntu starts well, and i starts surfing. After two minutes, or after ten minutes or after 60 minutes mouse stops working.

Keyboard works well. I have Gigabyte Ga-6Veml motherboard. Two usb hubs are near the sound panel, and one usb port are using with a connector.

This is my lsusb output:



engin@engin-masaustu:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04a5:7008 Acer Peripherals Inc. (now BenQ Corp.)
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub


And this is my lshw output for Usb Devices:

This is Ubuntu 10.04, and updated all backports updates are made.

What can i do? Is this a mouse problem, or motherboard problem?

Sorry for my poor english.


Thanks.

Usually USB mouse work out of box. Well I suggest you to experiment with an other spare USB mouse (if available)to confirm whether the problem is in the mouse or not.

drpjkurian, thanks for your message.

I used different mouses. This is my new mouse, i bought it last week :) But that doesn' t solve the problem.

I'm happy with ubuntu, so this is not a big problem for me. But sometimes i'm working on important documents, and this makes me angry :)

I hope we can solve this.

sudo aptitude purge irqbalance

Try this code in termimal

After purging irqbalance, doesnt freeze. I think you can do it:)

Thanks my dear.

Hello...i have the same problem. The mouse suddenly stops working...and I have to use the Usb one to work.I'm sure this is not the mouse device, because for some strange reason, the mouse started working again so I quit using the Usb one. Now, the Ps/2 mouse stopped working again...and I don't know why. Note: I'm using the Usb one again, but I prefer thousand times the PS2 one. Thank you very much. The code above doesn't solve the problem.
