Hi,

I have several Dell Precision M4300 Notebooks, they all suffer from the same problem:

Once in a while (to frequent... normally after a short break, while reading something), the mouse stutters and only works again after about 30 seconds. Mostly it happens if the mouse was not used for a while.

It is quiet annoying as you can imagine ;)

My normal configuration is openSUSE 11.0, with the proprietary nVidia driver, compiz activated.

In process of elimination, I disabled compiz, mouse continues stuttering. Next step was to use the nv driver instead of nvidia, mouse stutterig still happens.

Does anybody know of a trick that's missing here?

Thanks for all your suggestions, Dominique

Mouse has almost nothing to do with your video drivers.

How about telling us about the mouse? USB? Wireless? Bluetooth?

A usb mouse on the same USB controller as a network card can run out of bandwidth.

A wireless mouse might be going into battery save mode. (when did you last change batteries?)

Correct, ALMOST nothing ;)... but there are options swmouse or hwmouse (which, in fact did not change). The problem happens with the internal touchpad, the internal pointer and with an externam usb mouse.
