I'm having the same problem. Did you find any solution for this?

I hope I get this in before everything stops! Just install 9.04 with all upgrades and the problem persists. Ouch. My laptop is fine. Any body having any luck on this one?

Thanks

Whats up guys, I have a dell C521 myself and running 9.04 64 bit im still hunting for a solution to this probelm. My mouse sometimes last 15 min to 2 hours. I have found that if you use a usb hub it will fix this issue but there has to be a way to fix it with out going that path. If i find a way to fix this i will link what i find here.
