initialize USB mouse after plugging out

reis — Wed, 31 Aug 2005 08:19:13 GMT

Hi,
is it possible to initialize the USB mouse again, if someone plugged it out by mistake ?
If you plug in the mouse again, it doesn´t work anymore (hangs). Sometimes they have to save some files, but the programs can´t be used without mouse.

Kind regards
Walter

What OS?? Seems that you are in wrong forum.

If windows, can you do system refresh and that should take care of it.

You can always get people to use Windows and Exceed if they're going to be idiots and start pulling hardware. Much as I like HPUX, most Unixes suck when it comes to getting hardware, networking etc. messed with while they're online.

You may also be able to modunload/modload the USB driver from the command line. (modload=hpux? can't remember, but you get the idea)

Most USB components can be HOT SWAPPED which is removed then reinserted. I have a USB mouse and keyboard and I can remove them, use them on another computer, the put them back on the original without missing a beat. Also, some of the devices that had problems in USB 1.1 were fixed in USB 2.0.
Hot swapping and USB go hand in hand.
