Full Version: Mouse and Keyboard Freezing Randomly

Up and running now fully with Leo4All 10.5.2. Everythings working great aside from my mouse and keyboard which, for some reason work for random periods of time, then lock out. Replugging usually sorts the problem, but sometimes it doesnt. There is no realy pattern to this skipping, at one point I tried moving the mouse about at the login screen, and it locked out then too, which made me think it could be some sort of driver issue. So I tried installing the USB 2.0 fixes, wondering if it could be a problem with USB 2. Fix did nothing. My BIOS doesnt have options to disable legacy support for USB. Ive tried 2 separate mouses, and neither of them require mac drivers, both show up in system profiler with their correct names. Totally stuck now, hope someone can help, thanks.

Tried updating graphics drivers, now using NVinject, still the same problem. Going to try updating to see if 10.5.4 can solve my problem...

I have the same exact issue on an Asus P5E-VM HDMI board. But it also affects a wireless USB adapter. I always unplug keyboard, mouse or USB Wi Fi and plug it back in and it works, but I don't understand why it just dies??

Have you been able to figure this out?

I do have the ability to disable legacy USB support in my bios but when I've done that in that past my keyboard and mouse stop working...so not sure that solves it.

Would be thrilled to resolve this minor -- from time to time -- kind of quirk.

/mdg.

yeah I noticed my wireless USB also seems to freeze from time to time. I realized i couldn't update to 10.5.4 using ASU because it kept cutting out and refusing to resume sad.gif There must be some sort of similarity with our hardware, even though your Intel and I'm AMD. Hmmmm

similar issue here i have a microsoft wireless desktop 700 keyb/mouse it frezes randomly and when i unplug and plug it back in it works. may be somthing to do with ehci or usb wake from sleep. i dont know just guessing

If we could find a pattern with whats causing this, it'll be easier to find a solution. If your having this problem can you post all information about your system ie version, kernel version, what disk you used, what your chipset is, graphics anything at all that could be helpful to finding some sort of pattern, im pretty sure this isnt random. Console logs of what is happening as the freeze occurs might also help. Hopefully something will help this, my hackintosh currently isnt booting as I tried updating the kernel to 9.2.2 which didnt help, il post all the details I can remember:
CPU: AMD 4400
Disk: Leo4All 10.5.2
Chipset: Nforce 430i
Graphics gefore 8800gts using nvinject latest drivers
Il post the consiole logs once I'm able to boot.

I possibly have the same issue. I'm running a iDeneb 10.5.4 fresh install with 9.2.2 SSE3 kernel. I use logitech mouse and keyboard (both USB).

The system runs smoothly even with high disk/network load. But when plugging any kind of USB storage device like an external hard disk or an ipod, it will work but a few minutes later the mouse and keyboard will stop responding as expected. I also noticed that my RTL-8139 ethernet adapter becomes inactive at this point. When experiencing this issue the system is not hanged and I can (hardly) get to the apple menu and reboot. Unplugging and plugging the USB stuff again won't solve the problem for me.

I tried USBfix from iDeneb image without success.

I have a USB mouse and keyboard problem too after updating to 10.5.5. My mouse and keyboard would randomly freeze on boot. I have to unplug and replug it in to get it working. Anybody know of a fix for our problem? Maybe use a different kext?
