Quick questions:
- can you reproduce this with your friend's mouse (or any other
mouse)? If not, could your friend file a separate report so we can
get to know his hardware?
- please attach output from
/usr/share/bug/linux-image-$(uname -r)/script 3>&1
- please also test a recent kernel (3.x) from sid or experimental. It
should not require any other packages from sid except for
linux-base and initramfs-tools.
If this is reproducible with a recent kernel, we should pass this
upstream (I guess that is linux-usb@vger.kernel.org, cc-ing Alan Stern
<stern@rowland.harvard.edu> and this bug log). Otherwise, we can try
to find the fix and backport it.
Thanks,
Jonathan
