This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig282209775BBC49E27E18D9CA Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Resent: Originally sent over one hour ago. I'm not exactly sure what is going on here. Just about 10 minutes ago my mouse locked up and stopped responding, eventually forcing me to reboot because I couldn't get it to start responding again. I even had to unplug it from the USB port (it is a USB mouse) and plug it back in because it lost power for some reason. I tried restarting hald and dbus, figuring that was the problem, I also tried using sysinstall to configure the mouse to no luck. I have use of my mouse again, but my scroll wheel is no longer being recognized. I've once again tried using sysinstall and restarting hald and dbus to no avail. It's a fairly old (about 6-8 years) Logitech optical mouse (if I'm not mistaken, this is one with force feedback, but I'm not concerned about that feature). The applications I had running at the time were: OOo 3.1.1 WindowMaker FF 3.6 TB 3.0.1 Pidgin 2.6.5 Gkrellm2 with weather plugin I was actually on the phone talking with someone while trying to check up on some messages I had received via FaceBook when the mouse went out. At first I had thought that my computer had locked because nothing seemed to be responding, but a quick check showed me I could still alt+1-5 through my workspaces (keyboard is also USB and apparently suffered no such interruption). Both mouse and kb are on a PCI USB 2.0 expansion port because the builtins at the back of the box are on their way out (mobo is about as old as the mouse). --=20 Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
