046d:c045 [Asus M4A79XTD EVO] PC USB mouse pointer gets stuck a lot

[Bevor]

My problem is probably related to this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/991707

My mouse pointer gets stuck a lot. I tested it with two different Logitech mice on Ubuntu 14.04 (fresh installation no update from previous version). I'm not sure if the problem occured at any update, because I can't remember that it happened at the fresh Ubuntu 14.04 installation. On my old system (12.10) there were no problems. On my laptop (13.10) there are no problems too.

At some phases the mouse works good, but sometimes it gets stuck that often (at the same desktop session, so no reboot or switching terminal). I wasn't able to narrow it down so far, so I can't say that it has something to do with clicking the mousewheel or any button.

What didn't help:
Reloading psmouse module.
Switching virtual terminal.

I made the BIOS update yesterday. Since this update the error didn't occur yet. If it's happening again, I'll let you know.

[Bevor (bevor)]

It stucked again, here are the outputs:

$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2102

additional information: By the way, every time it stucks, the laser sensor on the bottom of the mouse flickers.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Bevor, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the first line at the top page (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.15

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
