[SOLVED]Mouse freezes

After booting up the system the cursor gets frozen. The mouse is a humble usb mouse, nothing special. It always worked. My system is kde 4.3.

If anyone could suggest  some solution, I would appreciate it.

This is the xorg.conf file

Re: [SOLVED]Mouse freezes

In the xorg.log file I found these mouse related error messages:

(WW) Warning, couldn't open module mouse

(II) UnloadModule: "mouse"

(EE) Failed to load module "mouse" (module does not exist, 0)

Re: [SOLVED]Mouse freezes

Well I think even if you tried without an xorg.conf file altogether you would still have the same problem.
You can see that the mouse drops off then hal adds it and then it fails again.
If I didn't know better I would say faulty hardware.
Do you have another you can test?

edit: of course I could be wrong tongue
Looks like others are having the same problem here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77662
Might be a problem with the new xorg-server package.

There's your problem tongue

On a more serious note, do you have another mouse to try? Or another Computer/OS to try the mouse on? Even using a different USB port maybe?

Re: [SOLVED]Mouse freezes

It works perfectly on ubuntu, debian and sabayon linux. I have never had problem with this mouse, ever.  This is the only mouse I have.

In that case I blame the new xorg-server package.

Makes me think you should try reinstalling xf86-input-mouse . Try that, maybe?

Re: [SOLVED]Mouse freezes

Does you mouse work first for a little bit and then freeze?
Does it freeze right away?
Does other usb devices work (such as a flash drive)?

Re: [SOLVED]Mouse freezes

Thanks for everyone for the good advises. Indeed the problem was that the xf86-input-mouse was not installed. It seems, I forgot about it at some point during the installation process. After installing it, the mouse stated working right away.
