To make it perfectly redundantly safe, let's say, plugged mouse in at the login prompt? Because I'm 100% positive (well, me and everyone else with any recent Gigabyte board that I know) that plugging the device in after the USB drivers are fully initialized will prevent the lockup and port timeout, always. >> Still, having it properly fixed in usb1 drivers wouldn't >> hurt, of course, > > How do you go about that? I mean fixing a device in usb1.1. > Well, I guess that would need someone with both FreeBSD USB expertise and some interest in fixing that bug (and probably an access to particular Gigabyte hardware, though as it seems so far, anything recent from Gigabyte and probably AMD6xx/7xx based will do it). Anyway, I tried reporting it back then in 2007, all I got was a bunch of arguments about power source fluctuations, carbon footprints, Windows, PS/2 mices (for christ sake..), and well, being a lazy coward, I gave up. Maybe you'll be luckier this time. m.
