Mouse freezes every couple of seconds on Fedora Core 5

maybi7 · 11-15-2006, 08:42 AM

I am using 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5. I have tried 3 different mice, 1 remote, 1 usb and one ps2. All of them freeze between 5 and about 20 seconds after the last freeze. It is sooooo annoying that I have decided to give up with Linux until I find a way to stop it happening (otherwise I will probably through the PC out of the window!)
Any help at all will be appreciated.

Try this:
Open any terminal (xterm, gnome-terminal, etc) and run 'top'

Keep the terminal in sight and continue to use your linux. If the mouse freezes, take a look at the terminal window and see what the highest 2 or 3 applications are. This *may* help figure out what is causing the problem.
