This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigCA983F815EB65E02647EA995 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 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.
