Greetings,
Recently my computer rebooted after a power outage and after having an
uptime of many months. I'm running Fedora 23 here, with Fernando's rt
kernel from Planet CCRMA, on hardware that includes an AMD FX6300, 16G
memory, a big hard drive, and nVidia graphics. For those months of
uptime I've enjoyed a smooth-running system with very few issues. The
CPU runs in performance mode, and as far as I can tell the system has
been sweetly optimized for realtime audio.
Alas, after rebooting I now have extremely annoying issues with noise
from my wireless mouse when running VCV Rack, which is a problem I
never had before the reboot. I suspect IRQ assignment, but I'm awfully
rusty at troubleshooting so I'm asking the group for advice.
Do you have a wired mouse or other pointing device (does not sound like
a laptop or there would be a few available) for comparison? I imagine
"noise from my wireless mouse" to refer to mouse _movements_ and those
do not just exercise the mouse and its USB connection but also the mouse
cursor display. If the problem is actually with the graphics
controller, using a different pointing device could provide a clue.
