[Bug 571534] Re: Lucid - Mouse stops working after shortly after login

[sdaau]

Hi jollywollup,

I just had this problem again, and came back to the thread (trying to
navigate Firefox by keyboard, lol) to see if there's everything new! :)
So I could do a little test...

On the laptop, my default mouse is a wireless Logitech, with one of
these smallest 'nano' receivers (sorry, can't find the model numbers
written anywhere on my mice, so cannot provide them now). This one,
again today, stopped responding to mouse clicks.

So I disconnected it, and plugged in the 'desktop' mouse, which is also
a wireless Logitech (however an older one, with one of those bigger USB
receivers). I connected it to the same USB port that the 'default' mouse
uses - this mouse could move the pointer without problems; however, it
still did not respond to mouse clicks..

Finally, I have yet another Logitech mouse, even older - but this one is
wired. So I unplugged the 'desktop' mouse, plugged the 'wired' mouse in
the same USB port - and same thing again; clicks are ignored, but mouse
pointer is moved all right...

Needless to say, haven't tried it yet to run entire session from
computer power up onwards, and see if this occurs again...

By the way - would anyone know which driver (or service) is responsible
for the mouse in Ubuntu? Occasionally, when this 'mouse clicks ignored'
situation occurs, I can still do Alt+F2 or Alt-tab (but sometimes not, I
should mention); and then I could start up gnome-terminal, and possibly
do a "sudo modprobe -r ... / sudo modprobe ..." or "sudo service ...
restart" - if I only knew the name of the driver/service to call!
(again, 'sudo service gdm restart' does fix the problem with the clicks
- but it logs off the user back to the starting screen, closing all
running programs in the process; what I'd like is to restart a
driver/service without closing all the running programs).

Also, I should mention that when the mouse clicks stop responding, so
does the scroll wheel as well.. Also, usually the situation starts
occurring when I'm either in Firefox (although I keep the vanilla
version installed, I actually use Mozilla's version) or in Scite.

Well, hope this sheds some more light - let me know if I can provide
some other info....

Cheers!
