Mouse with the PS/2 connector stop responding while using Ubuntu 12.04

[Sunil Kundu]

While using Ubuntu 12.04 OS, the mouse with PS/2 connector stops responding and i have to unplug the mouse from the computer and it works fine for some uncertain time after reconnecting it. This issue occurs most of the times while using Ubuntu. So its an inconvenience for the user. I am a QA tester by profession so its my job to report problems in software that i am using.

To reproduce this issue just use any mouse with PS/2 connector and use it for a day or two. One more thing, the issue is more visible while opening or closing any application or folder. My computer has 1 gb RAM and intel dual core processor. The mouse works fine with no interruption on Microsift windows, so there is no issue with the mouse (i guess).

It would be good if you guys have a look at this issue. Though its not a major issue but still can cause a big inconvenience for users. If you guys need any further information or my computer's DXDIAG, revert me back and i will try to provide anything in my reach.

You guys are doing a great job by providing a free OS which is reliable, stable, User friendly and much secure than any of the OS.
It's my pleasure to help you guys. Kudos to you guys, Keep up the good work.

Thanks and Regards.,

Tried to narrow down the search in Package section but couldn't find the Exact match for Kernal/linux/Hardware.
Anyways i have changed the target to Project (Linux). Could be helpful....
