When i start up my computer, the USB mouse (Dell/Logitech wheel mouse) doesn't work.
If i simply unplug it rom the usb hub and plug it back in, it works perfectly.
What is going on?
It works fine if plugged directly to the computer, no unplug/replug necessary.
At one time, I did have the mouse plugged into the USB hub andworking normally.
I previously had a serial mouse. Then i got the USB mouse.
Originally, i just plugged the USB mouse into the hub, while still leaving the serial mouse plugged in because xwin would lock up without the serial mouse.
At some point, i finally got kudzu to remove the serial mouse and install the USB mouse, but after that this problem showed up.
