Hello all.

Ive been having an intermittent problem with my mouse. It will randomly stop working. It does not move, and clicking does nothing. The keyboard works fine though.

The mouse is a USB Logitech trackman 2 button with wheel that acts as a 3rd button.

I use Karmic, and keep up to date on updates.

Ive had the mouse for years and the problem is only about a month old.

I can not duplicate the problem with this mouse on a windows machine.

The only real 'clue' is the logs file (To check, click system->administration->log file viewer. In there, click on the word 'messages' on the left side.)

Here is an example of what the log says when the freze event occurs :
