[Bug 267222] Re: Mouse pointer won't move on boot

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it without more information.

Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.recognized.log" after a fresh boot where the mouse is recognized properly and attach the resulting file "dmesg.recognized.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.problem.log" after a fresh boot where the mouse is *not* recognized properly, and where you unplug and replug the mouse to work properly, and attach the resulting file "dmesg.problem.log" to this bug report.
4. Please run the command "sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-
related bug reports is available at

Bug description:
On boot, sometimes the mouse pointer is stuck and won't move unless the mouse is plugged out and back in, and even then it will only work for a few seconds until it's stuck again.  It's Apple's Mighty Mouse.  I dual-boot OS X, and the problem only seems to appear when I have just been in OS X and reboot into Ubuntu.  After an arbitrary amount of reboots, the problem disappears.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.1 on a 64-bit Mac Pro.

I can fully understand if this is given a low priority, but it is very annoying.
