[SOLVED] Mouse become unresponsive (expect for the root window)

Hi,

I have posted earlier about this issue, but it seems that all window manager / desktop env have the same issues by me. Again, my mouse become unresponsive and it worked for just one window only, after a time the mouse stopped completely for everything and again a few seconds later it works. It does some super frustrating randomly things and i dont know why that happens.

I tried to check the log from dmesg and xorg but nothing strange in it. Also i tried running xev and when my mouse is doing extremly frustrating things xev doesnt report any mouse movements and or clicks. But i see my mouse moving.

What could it be ? This become a annoying problem. Then only way how i can fix it is by logging out and login again, but i lose my session and have to restart every application again.

Currently im using a G700 mouse from logitech and running on XFCE4

This is a wireless mouse, right? Do you have any other wireless devices near the mouse, which may disturb the signal? How far is the mouse away from its receiver? Is there anything between mouse and receiver that could block the signal?

Hi MadTux,

I dont think that is the problem, because when it happens randomly my mouse is still working ( i can click on the root window and move my mouse around ).

Do you have power management features like usb autosuspend or laptop-mode-tools enabled?

I found the problem, it was my G930 audio dongle. I found a quick fix somewhere on the internet to let X11 ignore my headset. I've added this script here:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-usbaudio.conf

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier	"G930 USB Headset"
	MatchUSBID	"046d:0a1f"
	Option		"Ignore" "on"
EndSection
