Comment 5 for bug 84762

The same applies to Edgy. Each day when I return to the computer, the cursor is missing from the display, the mouse has stopped working, and I have to unplug it and replug it for it to be redetected.

Here is some dmesg output, presumably showing the results of me unplugging and replugging a day apart:

The PC is a mini tower system. The USB mouse is plugged straight into a built-in USB port.
