Comment 19 for bug 67734

I'm listening... but I guess I am damned too... though it seems to a lesser extent.

For the record I am on a brand new Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe WIFI motherboard (nForce 590 chipset), and am experiencing this problem. I am using a MSFT Intellimouse Explorer 4.0 mouse (wired) on USB. For me, the problem occurs when i leave the mouse alone for an extended amount of time (greater than 5 minutes). If I am even only casually using the mouse (at least once every couple of minutes, such as reading blogs or articles), there are no problems. I have not yet experienced a mouse/pointer lockup while using it. Also, using a USB-to-PS/2 converter does not alleviate the problem at all.

At this time I'm a bit too new to Linux to start compiling new kernels (too afraid), as I'm having enough of a problem getting [*certain*] video and audio codecs to install. When I get the chance, though, I will try to replicate the problem on some different distributions (at the moment I have Knoppix and CentOS laying around), taking note of kernel version (uname -r, right?)
