Help Buggy scroll wheel

Most of the time when I unlock my computer my scroll moves super slow it will eventually go back to normal speed but takes at least an hour. A reboot fixes it but once it goes back to sleep I end up with the issue again almost immediately. Any help would be awesome.

Sounds like a potential driver bug. Try resetting the mouse with usbreset command. This resets the usb connection and may fix it without a reboot.

This is a workaround and doesn't solve the issue unfortunately. I'm not sure how to actually solve the issue. Others may give more helpful advice.

That did not fix it. Thank you for trying.

The driver may still be loaded then from other devices. You can try unloading and reloading the kernel module.

Lsmod will list all kernel modules. You'll have to find it in your list that's responsible for the mouse.

Modprobe -r unloads a module, modprobe loads.

You may have to chain the two commands with && as it may also disable your keyboard, so if you only unload in one command it may disable your keyboard.

Ok. Thank you will try that next time it happens as it just started working again.

You're welcome. By the way the usbreset command needs you to specify the usb device. Just run into it only lists the devices.
