[Bug 84762] Re: Feisty: usb mouse stops working

[Will]

I've had problems with intermittent loss of input and power to a
Logitech USB mouse with Ubuntu 9.10. I tried possible solutions
suggested here and some elsewhere without joy. I finally tried to reduce
electrical interference sheerly as a last resort because I thought this
would be the least likely problem. Simply moving my mouse cord away from
my CRT monitor and placing aluminum foil between my mouse cord and
monitor provided a solution to this annoying problem. The problem has
been resolved for 1 week now, no other solution suggestions helped. To
verify, I duplicated my previous setup and the problem returned.

I first undid all the other changes I had applied and verified the
problem still existed. No updates or other software/hardware changes
occured between my solution and problem verification. I first started
noticing the problem when I changed a CRT monitor location (but did not
realize the connection at first, all hindsight), the mouse cord had been
placed behind and around the back of the CRT monitor.

I'm not sure this will solve everyone's problem, there's a lot of
potential EMI sources, but certainly worth some further testing.
