This would happen a few times per week. Hi, I've reported problems like this on -STABLE more than once already. Apparently it is a very uncommon problem for the developers. I have to say that all my new PCs and the new laptop has problems with USB keyboards and mice generally. The laptop (IBM Thinkpad T60p) has the most problems, -STABLE switches the USB devices off in intervals of about 2h. I have updated (flashed) my BIOS firmware on this mainboard here (Gigabyte GA-EP35C-DS3R rev 2.1) to the recent firmware F4a (it's a 6 month old beta release). The problem worsened now. I cannot get my USB mouse working until I reattach it physically. This is not a problem on other OSes, it seems. During device detection and initialization of uhci/ehci my USB-mouse is switched off and does not get power anymore. I get the same effect on -CURRENT as of yesterday. Mouse is Logitech G5, btw. I tried various USB settings in BIOS. USB mouse support on/off, USB legacy device support on/off. What else can I do? This is very annoying. (I wonder if it can be the source of many problems that people report here about umass devices.) -- Martin _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
