Subject: [9front] mnt reform trackball stops responding
Reply-To: 9front@9front.org
Precedence: bulk

this just started happening in the past few days. it never happened before. 
twice tonight my trackball has stopped responding. soft reboot (fshalt -r) 
did not restore it. powering off completely and powering back on did.

this is what i saw in /dev/kmesg immediately after the trackball stopped 
responding:

nusb/kb: hid: /dev/usb/ep9.1: read: USB Transaction Error
nusb/kb: fatal: no report descriptor

but nothing still running seemed broken:

; broke
; ps ax|grep kb

**update:**

as i was typing this message the trackball stopped working again.
i unplugged my external usb mouse to see if this would have any
effect, and then the keyboard stopped responding as well. i didn't
have an external keyboard at hand so i had to circle-r reboot the
machine. both trackball and keyboard worked again after reboot.

note: my 9front is fully updated.
