Wireless usb mouse not working 11.10

Asked by Miikka Pyy

Just got a new chinese 5-button cheap-as-****-mouse, but ubuntu can't use it. It keeps "unmounting" it endlessly. Mouse is flawless in both Win7 and XP. (And works with XP in the same device). My hellokitty-mouse works fine. dmesg says:

[411.024188] USB 2-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 34
[411.247496] input: USB device USB device as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-2/2-2:1.0/input/input169

[411.500177] usb:2-2: USB disconnected, address 34

address number runs up every cycle. What now? Bug?

In BIOS, change to "USB legacy keyboard/mouse" and try again.

Don't have that option?
