Description FreeBSD Proponent 2012-12-25 06:20:00 UTC
With or without HALD running, with dbus running, using a USB mouse or USB keyboard, the USB device persistently disconnects and reconnects about every minute.
Comment 1 FreeBSD Proponent 2012-12-25 08:45:55 UTC
Note that this only occurs in console mode. Moused is not enabled.
When using moused (/etc/rc.conf) with X11/xorg, there were still serious
mouse disconnection issues. Using no moused and configuring X11/xorg to
use "/dev/usm0" only as its "pointer device", appears to have cleared up
the previously noted X11/xorg mouse disconnection problem, but the
console disconnects still occur for USB mouse or USB keyboard.

Hi,

Can you build a 10-current kernel only and install and boot once, and see if 
the issue is the same. 10-current has backwards compatibility for 8-stable.

(In reply to hselasky from comment #2)

Eventually I will be able to build FBSD-10, but not for a couple of weeks.

Have tested with FBSD-9.3 and FBSD-10.1 Live CD.

When in normal console boot mode (run level 3/5) moused is running and there is no interruption as stated before. If moused is NOT running, then there are persistent console interruptions relating to a connected USB mouse. This normally only occurs now when in single user mode. However, I have found that if I start moused in single user mode, then the USB disconnect messages no longer occur.

SO - the resolution to my problem is to make sure that moused is running all of the time as I have no choice with the current motherboard of using a PS/2 mouse.

You may close this problem. Thanks.
