Alright, here is an update. It is working in the gnome-desktop-environment with no issues yet.
As a side note, gnome has actually improved the stability of running BackTrack on this laptop(Toshiba M45).
usb mouse and ports stop working after screen lock
This has been happening on my Toshiba Satellite M45. Basically right after I lock the session using the K menu It just stops working and the light in the mouse will actually turn off as well (not immediately, more like a minute later). After it freezes, if you unplug the mouse and pug it back in it will receive no power. When I go to tty5 or something and then back to 7 the session will be locked and the mouse still works. When in tty 1-6 using gpm I don't seem to have any issues when closing lid or waking from a suspend. I wonder if this is a security feature preventing usb devices from being read after a session is locked?
well if anybody has any ideas shoot em this way pleaseIt is not that bad since my touchpad still works afterward. I will also check if this happens with other usb devices.
Alright well it has also happened within 30 seconds after startx without locking the screen.... Maybe this is more of a 2.6.30.x bug than a backtrack bug.
