Yes I could experiment on Slackware64-current, but if I am successful there and not in Slint that won't help much. Which leads to two newbie questions:

In my humble opinion, a heavy upgrade of GCC like you describe may lead in a need for a mass rebuild.
In other hand, regarding building the kernel (and even the external modules) with a dedicated GCC is a question to which response makes me also interested. I did in the past some experiments with using a x86_64 kernel from Slackware64 under the i586 Slackware. Yes, it's possible, at least in theory. |

Good news
With the kernel 5.13.6 released by Patrick used in Slackware64-current as well as the one built for and installed in Slint my mouse and keyboard are usable when connected to any of the six USB ports of my tower.
Chris[1] and anyone having suffered from this issue, please test to confirm that it is also solved for you. Then I will mark this thread as [SOLVED]. [1]I know it's 3 AM in Brisbane. So do it when you can... |
Still having the same behavior here unfortunately.
Applied update to 5.13.6. Rebooted without shutting down to verify no issues - mouse and keyboard worked fine. Then shut down completely and restarted - no response from keyboard and mouse. Hit reset button to restart and mouse and keyboard worked fine again. The only time things seemed "fixed" for me was with the 5.13.5 upgrade, but that broke with the subsequent -current update even though no kernel update was included and I can't see anything else in the update that might have caused the change in behavior. It's very odd and seems random with few other folks reporting similar issues. Maybe it's a random hardware problem? I'm just happy I can get things to work easily, but would interested to figure out why this is happening. Curious minds want to know ... Oh well. |

Well, you may be correct that it's not the same issue. It is odd though that we are both having keyboard and mouse USB problems that seem to have started at the same time after a kernel update. I'm not convinced we aren't seeing different symptoms of the same cause. I'm just not technical enough to know where to begin with respect to diagnosing. I will continue follow this thread and refrain from chiming in so as not to gum up the discussion in case it is truly a separate problem. |

I also tried the warm/cold boot scenario but it made no difference here - all USB2 and 3 ports now work correctly in both cases. chris |
