Reconnection of USB Receiver causes pointer cursor to stop responding. True "Plug & Work" or "Plug & Have a fun" would be really nice, not just "Plug & Pray" nor "Plug & Pay". /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection # lsusb Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:c50a Logitech, Inc. # uname -r 2.4.27 devfs
try /dev/input/mice. most likely your mouse isn't being assigned to the same device node when you plug it back in.
I have the same problem, I use multiple mice and udev. I would like X to be able to keep using the mouse once it has been plugged in again on that device node rather than forced to use /dev/mice.
I would like X to automatically make all devices in /proc/bus/input/devices function properly. This file is updated by the kernel when devices are connected and disconnected. It contains vendor code, product code and version code for all devices, so X can know exactly what it is. No need to manually configure things like number of buttons, zaxismapping, resolution or xmodmap. (If the user connects a device that is newer than the configuration database, X should make a guess and ask the user to confirm or correct the information, and add it to the database.)
