Comment 0 for bug 220345

Hi!

Below you can see the configuration for my Travelmate 4000 on up-to-date Debian Sid on kernel 2.6.23.

I've been trying for a few weeks now and am finally desparate enough to file a bugreport on the following issue:

"Normally", which means at home, I use a Logitech mouse, connected using a USB-Receiver. "Everything" works as expected.

As soon as I would unplug the USB Reveiver and start X it freezes. I can't predict when exactly - sometimes I can even log on in gdm, but soon after that it freezes. Strange thing is: I can still move my mouse (up to one minute), clicking and keyboard don't work at this point anymore, but in the end the system hangs completely - with even SysRq-Magic doing nothing at all.

I don't know where to start debugging, because I can't imagine why an attached Logitech receiver prevents X from freezeing. I chose Input/evdev because synaptics and mouse both use evdev - hope this is right.

Below relevant hal-device output is attached.

Thanks in advance for your help.
