Hi,


Recently, I think with kernel 3.6 (I use 3.6.11-gentoo), I started getting problems with my USB (Logitech radio) mouse whenever I am running off battery: it deactivates almost immediately, which means I constantly have to (literally) shake it to wake up from sleep before I can use it again. Typical mouse usage includes short periods of activity and longer periods of inactivity, so it is not as if I handle my mouse in a special way.

When looking at what happens:

Code:
# dmesg | tail
[ 4970.857253] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.0: setting latency timer to 64
[ 4970.857383] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: power state changed by ACPI to D0
[ 4970.958115] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: setting latency timer to 64
[ 4970.968985] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: power state changed by ACPI to D3cold
[ 4979.335879] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.0: power state changed by ACPI to D3cold
[ 5389.669794] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.0: power state changed by ACPI to D0
[ 5389.770291] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.0: setting latency timer to 64
[ 5389.770531] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: power state changed by ACPI to D0
[ 5389.871161] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: setting latency timer to 64
[ 5389.881955] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: power state changed by ACPI to D3cold


It becomes clear that USB (ehci_hcd) is switched from full power (D0) to sleep mode (D3cold) way too fast (in about a tenth of a second!).

I see different possible reasons for this behavior:

  1. Bug in the kernel I use.
  2. (Mis)configuration on my part becoming apparent after recent changes in the kernel.


I would be grateful if anyone could guide me to discover what the underlying problem is and help me find a workaround.


TIA,

Erik

is this a laptop, desktop? Configured with a kind of suspend? what's your whole dmesg output? kernel config? etc...

I have no such a messages in dmesg, so looks like and odd power management settings in kernel.

Hello,

I've had exactly the same problem (same symptoms, same messages in kernel log), I "solved" it using a workaround : I disabled the USB autosuspend. To do this, in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf , set CONTROL_USB_AUTOSUSPEND to 0. Alternatively, you can blacklist your device (mouse) by adding its USB ID (you use the lsusb command to find it) to the variable AUTOSUSPEND_USBTYPE_BLACKLIST

I hope this helps

That was what I did in the end. Sorry for not reporting back.
