[mythtv-users] Gyration mouse quits after couple minutes. Need help.

I bought 2 small Gyrtion mice from Woot for use on myth.  (
http://www.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=7039)
On my remote frontend, I plugged it in and it worked without doing anything
special.  On my main combined frontend-backend, it works for about 2 minutes
after a boot and then quits.  I copied the "good" setup from the remote
system to the main one and it still doesn't work for longer than a couple
minutes after a reboot even though the xorg.conf is the same for both the
kbd and mouse.  Other aspects of xorg.conf are different because the main
system has a projector, svideo and lcd as described on previous posts.

I can't find any mention of this Gyration mouse even existing more less how
to configure it for linux or more properly why it works on one system and
not on the other.  It always works just fine on a reboot (for a while)
without requiring resetting the mouse so I can't see that it is the reason
for the sudden problem.  I have tried both mice and that isn't it.

I am stuck.
