Interesting that your mouse output shows 'warning-level: low', but your keyboard shows 'warning-level: none'. Maybe there's a way to make it none for the mouse also? You wouldn't get any warning before your mouse stopped working, but at least you wouldn't be nagged to death in the mean time. :-) Leslie -- openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64
