does it happen when you plug directly into the port rather then a hub, what does the kernel log say if anything? Some older VIA chipsets had USB problems but your athlon is several years newer then the ones I encountered with issues(socket 7 era). I use a couple USB trackballs(Logitech). One goes through a hub, the other does not, never had a problem. Perhaps theres an IRQ conflict or other conflict with your USB controller. Check /proc/interrupts do you use any other USB devices, do they experience similar behavior? the log informaiton is usually stored in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
