[OpenIndiana-discuss] debugging mouse freeze/lockup

[Tim Mooney]

All-

I'm looking for information on how to debug an issue where periodically
the mouse pointer will freeze and become unresponsive.  The rest of the
system appears fine and I can still use keyboard shortcuts to switch
workspaces, close windows, and get to the point where I can reboot the
system.

I'm running hipster, last updated about 3 weeks ago, but this problem
has been happening for a couple years, going all the way back to oi151a9.

Hardware is a Dell Precision T3600 desktop, Nvidia GPU.  I've tried a
couple of different mice -- both Dell USB mice, but much different models.
The current mouse is a low-end Dell USB with 2 buttons + the middle
scroll-wheel that also acts as a button.

When the problem happened earlier today, after rebooting I found
this in Xorg.0.log.old:

[1140791.839] mouse: Device no longer present - removing.
[1140791.855] (WW) mouse: cannot pop module 'usbms' off mouse device: No such device
[1140791.855] (WW) mouse: cannot pop module 'usbms' off mouse device: No such device
[1140791.855] (II) UnloadModule: "mouse"

This is what that same Xorg.0.log.old had to say when the mouse was
originally detected & configured at the previous boot-up:

Log messages after that are for hotkey/kbd.

Most of the hits I've found on the net have related to laptops and USB
devices that are being powered down to save power, but this is a
workstation that is always on power.

Any suggestions for what I should do to debug the issue?

Thanks,

Tim
