No external mouse after sleep.

[pnunn]

Any ideas how to get the external mouse working again after a laptop wakes up from sleep.

Some times (not every time) the external mouse is dead when the laptop resumes (neither bluetooth nor wireless will work).

Any ideas how to reset them?

Hi
I won't EVEN go there about a dead mouse.... but anyway....

It might help people who actually know something, which I do NOT! lol, if you could indicate how the mouse is attached.

Probably not a wired mouse with a physical tail(...cut of their tails with a carving knife! lol ) , but I assume a wireless? Or Bluetooth?

LOL.. nothing rotting anywhere yet that I can see, and the cat isn't getting too excited.. so must be OK. Thought I did say... both bluetooth and wireless are dead after sleeping (tried plugging in a wireless thinking the bluetooth was dead and neither worked).

You might try some various boot options in your grub.

There are several options that may work or not so you'll being trying this for a while. To do this, boot to grub menu and then before booting linux, edit the boot menu and add these one at a time and then boot linux, test your sleep issue and repeat for each option until you get the results you desire.

nolapic
noapic
acpi=off
acpi=force
acpi_osi="Linux"
acpi_osi="Windows 2006"

Hopefully one of these will work. I put them in the order that I think might work. Then to make it permanent, as root (using sudo or kdesudo) edit /etc/default/grub and look for this line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

Add the option(s) that worked between the quotes after splash.

If you use one of these: "Linux" or "Windows 2006" you will need to add them like this \"Linux\" or \"Windows 2006\" so the quotation marks are properly parsed by grub.
