first time Ubuntu user here. ubuntu 18.04. Sorry if this has been asked before. I have a wireless Fenifox mouse keyboard both using the same usb wireless dongle. They worked right out of the box without any drivers. I have my screen set to go to sleep after 15 minutes. When I wake the computer back up, the keyboard works fine, but the mouse does not work. I have to toggle the little power on /off under the mouse a few times and move the mouse around a bunch before the cursor starts working again. This is never a problem when first turning on the computer, just when it wakes back up from sleep....any thoughts? I am not very proficent with the terminal, so if there is stuff I need to do on there, please make it as simple as possible, thanks in advance.

  • If anyone ever has a good answer to this USB mouse problem, I'd appreciate you letting me know at https://askubuntu.com/q/1358360/48214 which is my similar problem. Thanks. – Ryan Aug 16 '21 at 17:08

We had the same problem with the touchpad on Lenovo Extreme and Carbon on Bionic (Ubuntu 18.04). I was having to run sudo rmmod psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse. I never figured out why, but the mouse driver gets hung after returning from suspend. This underlying driver is the same as a regular mouse.
