usbhid and wireless keyboard and mouse - avoiding lockups

[Chris <list.hurschler@gmx.de>]

I'm using the following fancy wireless USB keyboard and mouse.  The thing is 
giving me alot of trouble though.  Often the mouse and/or keyboard lock up.  
Sometimes on boot the mouse only moves up and down not across.  I can 
sometimes get things back with:

rmmod usbhid
modprobe usbhid
/etc/init.d/kdm restart

with a PS2 keyboard I have attached.

Any suggestions on finding the source of the trouble??

Thanks,

Chris
