USB devices (trackball and PS2-to-usb keyboard) stop responding in Ubuntu Mate 16.04.4

[Kyprianos Papadimitriou]

Hello,

The following might be a problem related to unsupported devices by the 
Kernel.

I am facing the problem described in the thread: 
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2342985

And my problem is that I don't know how to do the : *quirk 
HID_QUIRK_ALWAYS_POLL (0x00000400)*, which is mentioned in the above link.*
*

|lsusb| command for the 2 devices gives:

    Bus 002 Device 009: ID 046d:c404 Logitech, Inc. TrackMan Wheel

    Bus 002 Device 010: ID 0a81:0205 Chesen Electronics Corp. PS/2
    Keyboard+Mouse Adapter

|tlp-stat -u| command for the 2 devices gives:

    Bus 002 Device 009 ID 046d:c404 control = on, autosuspend_delay_ms =
    -1000 -- Logitech, Inc. TrackMan Wheel (usbhid)

    Bus 002 Device 010 ID 0a81:0205 control = on, autosuspend_delay_ms =
    -1000 -- Chesen Electronics Corp. PS/2 Keyboard+Mouse Adapter (usbhid)

|uname -ra| gives:

    Linux dell 4.13.0-39-generic #44~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 5
    16:43:10 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I think the problem is not related with autosuspend, but rather with 
buffer overflow for the specific devices due to that they are not 
supported in the kernel code.

Best Regards,

Kyprianos
