I have a usb Microsoft mouse that works fine on Windows, but on Ubuntu it stops working if I stop using it for three seconds (literally, I counted). At this point, I am unable to move it, I have to click, almost as if it wake the mouse up. And that sucks because apparently that click is a legit click and I end up closing out of stuff sometimes...
Anyway, please help if you've ran into this sort of problem before. I know that there's a chance that this is just an unsolvable hardware issue that I might just have to live with (or write a driver).
Thanks in advance for your time.
