Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Mouse freezing after idle time
# 8  
Old 10-04-2010
When you boot your system, press the <ESC> key and you should end up with a screen like the attached image. Enter "a" to modify the kernel arguments and enter "irqpoll". Enter "b" to boot your system.

If you want to add this kernel argument permanently, edit /etc/grub.conf. You should see lines similar to these:
Code:
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server   (2.6.18-53.el5)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.18-53.el5.img

Modify the 3 line as follows
Code:
      kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet irqpoll

Thank a lot. Since I added the irqpoll argument to the kernel, my mouse is no longer freezing.

I am not sure what the consequenses of this is but I am happy about my mouse not freezing.
