I missed the earlier "episodes" in this thread, so I don't know what
specific hardware was involved. however, let me throw a bit of "ground
truth" (as they say in the remote sensing business) into the discussion:
If we're talking about F19, my Logitech wireless/USB mouse hasn't
exhibited that problem on my F19 netbook (Aspire One D255E netbook). I
don't recall the mouse's model number, it isn't printed on the device
*anywhere*, but it was being sold at BJ's a couple years ago for ten bucks
(so I bought a couple of 'em.) FWIW. my $0.02. etc.


but it reminds me of way back in the RH6 days (not RHEL 6) when I first
got a USB mouse, it would work fine for days or weeks then all of a
sudden quit working. through some cut and try I learned that if I did
a rmmod and subsequent insmod of one of the *hci modules it would start
working again. Never did find the cause, eventually as hardware and
software underwent upgrades I ceased to encounter it.
