usb mouse

I've been having trouble with my usb mouse in the past few days. I'm currently dual booting between windows and linux and sometimes when i reboot into linux, my mouse doesn't work at all.  I've tried install evdev and that didn't help at all either. Also i've checked the port and the mouse itself. The mouse and the port are both fine. Also when i use lsusb i get no results.

Re: usb mouse

It may be something to do with usb autosuspend.

Re: usb mouse

when i reboot

Try shutting down the PC, waiting e.g. 10 seconds, and starting it again. Rather than rebooting.

This is because, when I *reboot* my laptop, my mouse goes to a different /dev/input/event* number than if I had gone through a shutdown/startup cycle - and I can't use a reliable udev rule, because my wireless mouse has the mouse and its USB receiver look identical to udev - a hilarious farce.

I've booted directly into linux and i have the same the problem, the mouse just stop functioning, I've also tried to cat /dev/input/mouse0 (which is my usb mouse) but i'm not getting any results.

It may be something to do with usb autosuspend.

I don't think that the usb is being detected at all, so....

Re: usb mouse

Per chance Windows 7 with standard energy-saving settings?
If so, go to those settings and deny win7 to powerdown the usb-devices.
Some mainboards remember those settings, just like in the old days with the NICs that windows turned off ...

If you're talking about the energy-saving settings on windows 7, yea i use those. I don't know how to powerdown the usb-devices, so i really can't say that i have done that. It would be nice to know how to, if you do know. However i reformatted my computer completely to archlinux and still am having the same problem.

edit: I don't hink it's a ehci error, i've removed the module however the problem still is happening. And the error i'm getting is: ehci unrecognized capability ff
