Occasionally it functions, sometimes it fails (the cursor stalls). I don't understand the cause. As a beginner on Linux, I'm unsure what to do. I've changed the port and tried another mouse, but the issue persists. Does anyone know how to resolve this? My kernel version is 3.16.0-4-amd64. 'lsmod' shows module sizes and usage details. Output of 'lsmod' lists several modules like tun, auth_rpcgss, nfsd, etc. I'm not sure what to fix since it's not a mouse problem. I changed ports and tested with another mouse, yet the cursor still doesn't move.
