Mouse lockups in X.org w/ ATI

[Gordon Messmer]

Using FC5-test3, will all of the updates as of tonight, I'm still seeing 
X lose input from the mouse.  None of the functions -- motion, buttons, 
or scroll wheel -- function after I'm in X for about a minute.  If I 
switch VTs and come back, it's usually working again.  I saw this 
problem in the installer, and have seen it consistently as I've applied 
updates since installing a couple of days ago.

Nothing is printed in X.org's log at the time of the lockup, and killing 
processes in my X session doesn't restore control of the mouse.  My PS2 
keyboard doesn't seem to be affected.

The mouse is a Logitech USB wheel mouse, and in case it matters, I'm 
using an ATI video card.  X.org's log says:

(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 If [Radeon 9000] rev 
1, Mem @ 0xf0000000/26, 0xff7f0000/16, I/O @ 0xc800/8, BIOS @ 0xff7c0000/17
(--) PCI: (1:0:1) ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Radeon 9000] 
(Secondary) rev 1, Mem @ 0xec000000/26, 0xff7e0000/16

Is anyone else seeing this problem?  I've only seen one other post on 
the list archives that looks similar.

This is interesting...  The mouse seems to lock up after 10 seconds of 
inactivity.  As long as I use the mouse constantly, it doesn't seem to 
lock up.

Also, the problem doesn't affect non-optical mice.  I have a Dell 
branded USB mouse which works properly.

I'll try to get my hands on another brand of optical mouse later, and 
see if it's specific to the Logitech brand.

My Logitech mouse does this.  My HP mouse does not (pity; the Logitech
is a much better mouse otherwise).

I'm running the radeon server, both mice are USB.

Yeah, I snagged a MS USB optical mouse and tested it.  It seems fine, so 
the problem seems peculiar to Logitech mice.

Monty~ Are you still seeing this problem after updating to the latest 
kernel package?

I lied.  It's not gone, but the timeout's gone from 10 seconds to 90 
seconds.

If I boot the latest FC4 kernel, I don't have the timeout issue.  Anyone 
else having the problem able to confirm?
