Well, that's interesting. I have one of those; I'm using it right now.
I vaguely recall buying it about ten years ago. It works fine for me.
However, it is possible that Gene and I have different chip sets, either
in the receiver or in the keyboard or rodent, that make for some subtle
differences.
Stepping back a moment —
Andy Cater wrote "The 30 installs you did resulted in a whole stream
of annoyed emails: that was almost entirely because you had a USB
serial device. Simplify, simplify, simplify."

So now Gene describes his mouse, and takes the opportunity to
recapitulate all (some of?) his woes, starting with the speaking
installer, and then moving on to the 30-sec requester lag,
not forgetting the tbird problem and the freeze. Suddenly the
poor old mouse is under suspicion as the source of all Gene's woes.
[...]
Seems unlikely. I'm in agreement with Andy Cater and Andy Smith.
That would mean that, with "just" that mouse on USB (and perhaps
a keyboard), the installer wouldn't try to yell at Gene anymore.
Is this so, Gene?
That was the system config at the original install, and every one of the
subsequent installs, nothing I did with the installer prevented it from
installing orca and brltty. Text only, several variations of graphical
have been tried.
Another clue perhaps: where does t-bird try to save a draft copy of a
msg while editing it?, its driving me crazy with failed to write a draft
msg every 5 minutes.
You don't have to follow through with the installation, mind you:
just going so far as to ascertain whether it starts in "vision
impaired" mode; OTOH I'd accept that your curiosity is limited at
this point.
AFAIK, and having had a look at the Linux USB ID repo [1], where
vendor and ID are alright (the clear text part in the lsusb output
also confirms that), I'd exculpate that mouse.
My main hypothesis (that the installer at some point (mis-)identified
some widget hanging off the USB as a device a vision impaired person
would have had and helpfully switching to audio mode) stays.
I agree with that but dammit system, give me a clue, its not bitching,
just lagging quietly but the system is frozen during the lag.
