Mouse goes to sleep?

[Jeffrey Ross]

System is Fedora 10 x86_64, the mouse is a Micro$oft wireless Laser 
Mouse 5000. 

The mouse occasionally stops responding for one or two seconds and then 
continues like nothing happened.   There are no messages in the logfiles 
related to the mouse and the the keyboard which is also USB does not 
have any issues.

The desktop is Gnome and I all currently available patches/updates have 
been installed.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jeff

  *) feed the mouse less cheese
  *) watch for cron jobs -- makewhatis, updatedb and
     things that make the disk light blink a bit. Run
     them when you want them to run.
  *) watch for browser bloat. Firefox and friends can
     get big with lots of tabs and plugins.  Close
     Firefox 
  *) top in another window can help notice.

Does anything else freeze at the same time? For instance, if you're
typing at the time, does it show up normally?
I have a similar issue, though it only happens when I adjust my laptop
panel's brightness.

For reference, I'm using ATI x1400 + fglrx on Dell E1505, with F8

Do watch for silent disk errors.  As disks retry sometimes cause stuff
to just stop.
