mouse problems

Hi,

I have some mouse annoyances with my new archlinux installation.
It's an older computer, and I'm using a microsoft usb mouse.
I tried 2 different setups:
1) mouse connecten via usb->ps2 adapter in ps2 port.  The mouse works perfectly, but when I shut down the pc the red led at the back of the mouse will not go out. Rather annoying because I have to sleep in that room.  I used ubuntu on this computer with this setup and it worked there, so it has something to to with a configuration.
2) the mouse connected via USB. It works, but stops working from time to time. Then I have to rmmod uhci_hid and lsmod it again.
dmesg log from such a problem:

Re: mouse problems

Modern mouses usually work better via USB (which is native for them)

Re: mouse problems

The problem is it doesn't seem to be here like this.
The mouse works better on ps/2 (keeps always working), the only problem is that the shutdown forgets to switch of the power...

Re: mouse problems

I remember reading about such issues on the forum already, don't remember the solution though.
