youkergav Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hello! I have a big problem and need help with my mouse. My USB mouse constantly keeps freezing. After logging into Kali I have about 10 seconds of use before the mouse freezes. The only was to unfreeze this it to restart the computer or unplug and replug my USB mouse. I have tried everything google gave me. I tried editing to xorg directory, and changing my mouse. I even reinstalled the whole filesystem! I know this isn't Kali because I have used a live version on my macbook. Strangely, when attempting to use the same live USB with my desktop, it freezes again. I hope someone out there can help me because this is very frustrating. Thanks! PS: Go easy on my I'm a newbie :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Try booting up Kali and after login connect the USB mouse. I had a laptop with an issue where BackTrack would hang for about 5 minutes when my USB mouse was plugged in on boot. When it was not plugged in, it booted just fine.

I appreciate this, but unfortunately that is not working for me... just as a side note, would you have to do that every time you booted to Kali? It seems quite tedious.

Mr-Protocol Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yes on my old laptop. My guess it's a driver issue or sorts with the mouse. Does the keyboard still work after login wen the mouse freezes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the keyboard still work after login wen the mouse freezes? Yes, keyboard works. Ive tried installing drivers. Plus do you think it would be bad drivers for two mouses?
