I'm using a Microsoft Wireless Optical USB Mouse, and after about 30-45 seconds of non-use it stops working.  All I have to do to fix it is take out the USB plug and stick it back in, but it's annoying.  Anyone know how to fix it so I can just...not have to do anything?

Boy are you using the wrong OS, get used to constantly reconfiguring and having things break. But wait atleast it's secure right? :)

I'd rather reconfigure than be stuck on Windows. ;)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

At the least they could implement a front end or something to auto restart it, that's rediculous really.

Actually, I've had to do this on a few Windows machines too.

Arn't there like USB to PS/2 adapters at a hardware store? Some BIOSes have this as well.

Yeah, but that seems like a pretty round-about solution.  He'd probably be better of finding the cause of this.

You're all useless.

The way my computer is setup, adapting it to PS/2 wouldn't work (it's too far away).  Also, I already have 2 of those adapters, but they are both in use.

Now, if anyone wants to post anything else, at least TRY to be some sort of use.

In order to narrow down the problem, can you try adapting it to PS/2 for the sake of expirement?

Same affect?  Do you have another USB mouse you could try it with?  If it persists, I'd imagine it something in your xorg.conf, though I wouldn't be sure at that point.

Did you edit ~/etc/X11/xorg.conf so that the mouse type is PS2 / IMPS2 instead of USB?

It's /etc/X11/xorg.conf

~ means it's located in your home directory, which xorg.conf isn't. :)

I was close enough! I wasn't sure on the exact location.
