Bug Description
I have had this problem on dapper, edgy and now I'm having it on feisty beta. I have a Toshiba Satellite M50-228. A month ago I bought an optical wireless mouse with a USB-receiver. When I plug it and turn it on, it works only for a couple of minutes. Then the mouse cursor can't be controlled by the mouse anymore and I have to use the touchpad again. It's surely not the problem of the mouse, because when I move it, the LED on the receiver blinks. Also I have tested the mouse under Windows and it works without problem (that's making me mad, because I really hate Windows ;) ).
It would be great, if you could solve this problem. Thanks for your work on Ubuntu!

forgot to say: if I unplug the mouse, wait a little and then plug it in again, it still doesn't work. The only thing, that "helps" is a reboot, but then it works again only a few minutes.
