Input stops working r1b5 x64

Recently I have had issues where the mouse and keyboard will just stop working. This was happening before the b5 release. I have Haiku on 3 pieces of hardware. It has happened on all 3. With one laptop in particular being worse than the other two. I have no way to “make” it happen. It seems totally random. Sometimes it’s right at boot, most times I’ll just be going along and suddenly things just stop.

Tonight is the first time in a while I’ve just sat down and “used” Haiku. In the last 2.5 to 3 hours I have had this happen 4 times. Each time I have had to connect an external mouse to the laptop in order to reboot. Even pressing and holding down the power button does nothing when it is in this state.

It’s a problem. If I had not been just websurfing I could have lost any work I was on.

I am not sure what is needed for a bug report in this case as i can’t give specific reproduction steps. I will wait for guidence.

Have you enabled Powersaving in ProcessController (the icon in Deskbar)? If so, try disabling it and reboot.

I’ve made that change and so far it’s looking good. Thanks.

P.S. Is there a bug for this already?
