Spent a while searching the debian-user archives, tabbing from link to
link - fortunately some websites don't demand the mouse. Anyway, found no
solution, so I rebooted. The mouse came back to life.
What can do at the command line to avoid the reboot when this happens?
I hadn't done anything to the system for the last 10 days or more, so
there was no config changes or package installations. There were no
relevant messages in /var/log/messages or dmesg. I just put it down to
sunspots.
My config is:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
--------------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^
Try using "/dev/input/mice" instead.
Would that be a preventative measure for the future?
Considering that this hasn't happened to me before, I'm hoping to work out why
it did happen, rather than change to a different config which may have a new set
of issues. Is there any advantage to using '/dev/input/mice'?
