I'm using the radeon driver. Mouse and KB are USB. Symptoms are that every so often, when returning from the screensaver, I have no mouse. This happens about once a day on average, although I've been able to discern no other pattern or event that triggers it. Most of the time, when I come back from screensaver, everything is fine. When the problem occurs I can get mouse function back by waiting until the screensaver starts again, when I move the mouse or hit a key to disable the screensaver the second time, all is well. I've tried unplugging/plugging the USB mouse, but this doesn't help. Occasionally, I get these messages in /var/log/messages: Sep 12 08:38:20 vanquish kernel: uhub5: vendor 0x0424 product 0x2504, class 9/0, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 2 Sep 12 08:38:20 vanquish kernel: uhub5: multiple transaction translators Sep 12 08:38:20 vanquish kernel: uhub5: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered ... as if the mouse were recently plugged in. The appearance of these messages does _not_ coincide with the problem. Any thoughts on what could be wrong? I'm not sure whether this is a problem with xorg or FreeBSD, but I'm suspecting FreeBSD because of the messages. Any suggestions on how to debug? -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
