Hello Aluggers!
My usb mouse is being a pain. To be honest, this system has had all sorts of usb problems over it's time, mostly when you plug in more than one device (either into the mother board or through a hub) the first device disconnects, and then it becomes really difficult to get the second device to do anything, however, my current mouse issue may be unrelated, and is certainly far more annoying.
When I don't use it for a short period of time, it just stops responding. A short period of time can be as little as a few seconds but sometimes its ok for what might be as much as a minute. Unloading and reloading the usbhid module gets it working again, but this is an absolute pain. Also, killing X also gets it working again...
Anyone have any idea what I can do to make it work?

I'd try another mouse tbh, what distro and kernel you using and what usb chipset does the machine have?
Thanks Adam
Well, was using gentoo, with some kernel, 2.6.16 + gentoo patches-r9 (i think, but i'm doing this from memory), have just installed xubuntu on it instead and i'm getting the same problem. The kernel for that is 2.6.12-9-386.
I'm guessing my USB chipset will be the these:
rob@whisper:~$ lspci | grep USB 0000:00:10.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 80) 0000:00:10.1 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 80) 0000:00:10.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 80) 0000:00:10.3 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 82)
Will try another mouse tomorrow.
Thanks for the reponse.

What about a cron job which reloads the usbhid module once a minute? ;-)
