Hi all, |
2 |
I'm running a 64 bit KDE setup in a laptop. In the last few days, the |
3 |
mouse has become erratic and in fact dies after a bit of usage. |

|
5 |
When KDE fires up, and I'm presented with the login dialogue, the mouse |
6 |
will work for a few seconds, up to 30 say, then it freezes. If I get in |
7 |
quick and enter the username/password, the mouse pointer will change |
8 |
from the black login pointer to a slightly different shaped white |
9 |
pointer and then freeze. The login process will continue and present me |
10 |
with my environment, but no mouse. A Cntl-Alt-Del will bring up the Log |
11 |
out/shutdown/restart dialogue and I can use the keyboard to select |
12 |
either shutdown or restart. |
13 |
|
14 |
The thing that is "freaky" is that this happens if the laptop is |
15 |
running from batteries. If I have the machine plugged into the wall, |
16 |
this problem does not exist. |

Has anyone come across a problem like this? Any thoughts, greatly |
19 |
appreciated. |
