Mouse freezes when not moved
If I stop moving the mouse for few seconds, then I need to move it for about 2-3 seconds before the cursor starts moving again.
It is a wireless Logitech mouse. I suppose it has something to do with USB ports or mouse going to sleep.

Re: Mouse freezes when not moved
That's how wireless mice are like, its a battery saving feature. You could just click to get it to wake up. If this happens after only a few seconds though it sounds more like a bug. My A4tech mouse goes to sleep after about 30 seconds to a minute of inactivity.

No, it's not how wireless mice are. In windows, I never experience this annoying issue and neither did I on previous linux installation.

Re: Mouse freezes when not moved
maybe usb go in suspend mode.
Try powertop-git in the tunables tab if autosuspend or the device is enabled.

What a weird program. It say "BAD" next to logitech receiver. Does it mean autosuspend was Off or On?

Re: Mouse freezes when not moved
I had exactly the same problem, recently disable laptop-mode-tools daemon and is running fine now.
surely I have misconfigured laptop-mode-tools, but if you're using laptop-mode-tools test disable it.
I hope I've helped
edit: just disable the usb-autosuspend of laptop-mode-tools is fix

Re: Mouse freezes when not moved
You don't have to disable the usb-autosuspend of laptop-mode. You just have to add the device in the black list of the autosuspend configuration.
edit this file:
/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf
the USBID blacklist doesn't work for me but I used the USBTYPE blacklist with "usbhid",
and then reload the configuration with:
systemctl restart laptop-mode.service
