I changed the "affects" field from "xorg" to linux-source-2.6.11 for the reasons stated on the previous message. I chose linux-source-2.6.11 because I have suffered it as described when using Dapper.
With kernel 2.6.17 -- or with Edgy, anyway, were it not a kernel issue -- it is a lot worse. When the live disk comes alive, the pointer is already frozen, as well as the keyboard. Unpugging/replugging does not free the pointer, and another mouse plugged in a different port is also unable to move the cursor. By the way, USB ports in a USB controller card plugged in the PCI bus work faultlessly. -- Mouse pointer freezes in Dell Dimension E521 / nForce 430 https://launchpad.net/bugs/67734 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
