You have problems with your mouse or keyboard?
What happens if you unplug the mouse or keyboard and plug it back in, does it stop working?
It happened to me in devuanpup and apparently the same thing happens in other recent versions of puppy
does it happen to you?
Fossapup OK

Hi Nilson:
As you know, I have a lot of them with my trust mouse (viewtopic.php?t=8699) . I tried all the suggestions other puppy users had made to me.- NO ONE WORKS.
I am not a codder, so I tried changing each line at etc/X11/xorg.config and in the end.... NO SOLUTION so I used my trust mouse without lateral buttons... sniff...sniff...
n.b.- It is not an important problem, I can browse the internet, but I am dissapointed because I work slowly (with xenial it didn't happen).
Now my configuration file is this.
Code: Select all

AS ALWAYS... any suggestions are WELCOME 
N.B.- I tried changing the wireless protocol, I include new buttons, I tested...... but I made some errors, for sure.
I understand you but the problem I describe is a little simpler.
any usb mouse or keyboard, if it is disconnected it stops working until you restart x again
First in Puppy Event Manager make sure hotplug support is activated.
If it is not.
After activating it, because this is a change that has to get into the Puppy save.
Probably need to reboot updating the save, so this is now always active when you boot.
.
thank you for correct me, bigpup: error happen in live mode, later post the dmesg errors, been busy this days
