I am using the Mate desktop on CentOS 7 and have found that the mouse intermittently becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, typically no more than 3-5 seconds. I do not remember seeing that when I used the regular Gnome desktop on CentOS 6 but I could misremember. The machine is fast and uses a dual-monitor setup with the native nVidia graphics driver.
Is this really to be expected? I thought this was not an issue on Linux or maybe I am engaging in wishful thinking...
Do you reproduce the same issue w/ another hardware (mouse or trackpad if it's a laptop).
Does `tail -F /var/log/messages` show anything special while this is happening?
Would be nice to check the resources consumption too, in order to see it those lags correspond to high-activity peaks.
How is the mouse connected -- ps/2, usb, bluetooth, something else (e.g., mouse-specific dongle)?
I use a touchpad that's built into my usb-connected keyboard and don't encounter mouse latency issues with c7/mate.
