its not just my usb mouse or usb keyboard that gets stuck but my laptop keys dont work as well...but the mouse scroll works perfectly still....nothing else works then...and i have to switch to a virtual console and back to get them working again.....
i would like to add that i start in console mode and only startx later...

now here is the weird part....i am typing small case with my caps lock on my usb keyboard after switching back from console....this machine is driving me nuts now...

do help....

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 187c:0515 Alienware Corporation

Note the number after Bus ignoring leading zeroes and replace $BUS with it in the following:

echo 'on' > "/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb$BUS/power/control";

or

echo 'on' > "/sys/bus/usb/devices/$BUS-*/power/control";

Does either turn your mouse back on?

i tried this but it aint helping much...my mouse goes to suspend state again...

I would suggest either removing powertop, or setting all the tunables in powertop to BAD. Or at least all the USB-related tunables.

i know this is a pretty old thread but i want to update what i had done so long......
i did a fresh install of slackware....

still the issue persists....later i found that my laptop touchpad mouse was the one causing the issue as it was sending events for right click in frequent intervals so i just turned it off and switched to a new usb mouse and i am feeling alright for a couple of days now....
