usb mouse not working - need help understanding dmesg reults
This has been an ongoing problem for me for over 5 years. Basically my usb mouse randomly stops working after using it for a fey days. Once it stops working it will be down for anywhere from an hour to a week.
This has happened on many different operating systems (opensuse, fedora, mandriva, windows and now linux mint). Generally after a fresh OS install it will be ok for about a week and then it goes out and unplugging the mouse, restarting the computer does nothing. It at times will randomly start working for an hour or two and stop again.
the usb port that i am using, works with everything else (keyboards, memory sticks) ... however i do have 2 other usb ports which are not working at all with anything. They are located at different ends of the laptop. i have tried changing the batteries, many different mice but the results are the same. the light for the mouse receiver is on (solid) and the mouse works ok with my other computers.
i have tried many things over the years with no luck. My Laptop is an Acer Aspire 5600, the mouse is a logitech wireless usb mouse
...when i run "dmesg" ... this is what i see (for usb suff) - not sure what it means though, hopefully someone can help me understand what is happening
