[gentoo-user] usb suspend bug for mouse?

[Thufir]

I have a run of the mill USB optical mouse which has worked fine for
several years.  Recently it started "stalling" , "hanging" or
"freezing" from gentoo.  This morning I booted into Fedora and it
seemed to work fine (for a few minutes).

The pattern is that a window is opened, then the arrow cannot be moved
around the screen, but the buttons and scroll wheel work.

Could this be a USB suspend issue?  I haven't tested extensively on
the Fedora installation of the same box, but it seemed to work fine,
whereas from Gentoo the mouse was hanging every time a window was
opened, then waiting a few minutes, then unfreezing.

Haven't yet tried a different mouse.

thanks,

Thufir

Perhaps it's just worn out, or perhaps the screen on the bottom is
dirty or does not like your table top / mouse pad.

I don't think so, because I'm in Fedora using the same optical USB
mouse plugged into the same USB port on the same computer, using the
mouse on the same surface, and it works fine.

So, it must be something with X, GNOME or the kernel to my thinking.

I'd say it's very good possible. Turning of
Device Drivers -> USB support -> USB selective suspend/resume and wakeup
might do the trick.
