I also had this problem on a recently upgraded Toshiba A100 series laptop. All worked fine on Dapper. I upgraded through Edgy to Feisty (2.6.20) in the last couple of days and had this USB mouse problem.
-- USB mouse went dead at seemingly random times -- Unplugging/replugging did NOT fix it for me -- Deactivating USB legacy device support in the BIOS did NOT fix it for me -- modprobe steps mentioned above hung for me, too -- Adding "acpi=force irqpoll" as boot options in GRUB looks like it DID cure it (so far, so good) -- Feisty: usb mouse stops working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
