Yes indeed. This looks very similar to the problem reported in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4916
See especially comment #19.
It's possible that the patch adding an HID reset routine (the last
attachment in the bug report) will work for you. You might have to fiddle
with it a little, because it is now four months old.
Yes, it works. No more freezing mouse despite the cold weather outside :-)
This _should_ have shown up in the dmesg log if you had CONFIG_USB_DEBUG
turned on. Make sure you have it on when running more tests.
Do you mean, it should have shown up without this patch? Since you told
me to enable CONFIG_USB_DEBUG, I had it always on while testing, but I
never saw that messages. Or do you mean, it is bug that these messages
weren't reported when CONFIG_USB_DEBUG is on?
The last 4 kernel messages since the first boot with your patch:
Dec 17 20:50:30 . kernel: mtrr: 0xe8000000,0x8000000 overlaps existing
0xe8000000,0x1000000

I'm CCing Helmut Zeisel, he reported the same issue in an austrian
newsgroup. Helmut, you might want to try attached patch to fix our
"dying mouse" issue.
