[GLLUG] Keyboard & mouse problems

[Caleb Cushing]

I have a Logitech mx5000 Keyboard and mouse set, they connect to the
computer VIA a bluetooth USB Key. I have them both working. My problem is,
whenever my Hard Drive (and or processor) is under a heavy load sometimes
the mouse starts to lag. I believe I have observed this when it is not under
a heavy load too, although it is much less observable. My primary hard drive
is SATA, therefore DMA should not be an issue. The problem did not occur
when I used a PS/2 keyboard and mouse. Therefore I believe it is not X
related. I have checked dmesg and I see no new entry's during this lag. I am
trying to figure out what the source of my problem could be, and how to
resolve it. My latest idea is that it may be IRQ related. the keyboard and
mouse are probably set to different IRQ's than standard because they are
connected via the USB key, and therefore the hard drive has a lower IRQ than
them. I have also thought that it may be related to udev or the kernel. I am
open to all suggestion's in either narrowing down the source of the issue or
solving it. I greatly appreciate any help given.

Sincerely,
Caleb Cushing
