    Mouse and keyboard laggy

    Hi,



    I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bi on my i5-2400 system, and I'm experiencing very laggy keyboard and mouse input.

    I have to type really slowly or I some keys will not get registered. Also, the mouse cursor moves around very slowly at a very low frame rate.

    I've checked my keyboard and mouse settings and they seem to be fine. System monitor doesn't show any processes taking up significant CPU utilization. What else could be wrong?

    It is hard to imagine this could be the problem since this is a new installation, but could your disk be full? You can check that with df.

    No it's not. It's a 256GB SSD.

    I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 on another system with a smaller 80GB SSD and it worked flawlessly, so it's a hardware issue.

    Doesn't anyone run 10.04 on the Sandy Bridge or newer platform?

    Tried a ps2 keyboard and the problem isn't there so I'm pretty sure it's a USB driver issue.

    Have you tried installing the "official" drivers for your video card? Disregard if you are already using that.

    Where can I obtain official drivers for my Intel 3000 graphics? I wasn't able to find it. Neither intel nor hp (my desktop vendor) lists Linux drivers.

    Intel drivers are usually installed by default. Post the output of this command as root or use sudo.
    Code:
    lspci -knn

    OK, I've tried plugging the mouse into a few ports on the back of my PC, and it always connects to Bus 001 according to lsusb, and the lag remains.

    However, I just tried plugging in the mouse into one of my front USB ports, and it connects to Bus 002, and voila, no lag.

    I did some investigation by checking the interrupts via cat /proc/interrupts:

    Code:

    Seems like ehci_hcd:usb1, which I assume is bus 001, is getting hit very hard on CPU0. Why is this so, and how can I fix this?
