USB mouse disconnected after two seconds

Fedora 16

I plug in an optical mouse and I get

It does this on every usb port.

Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, have you tried other optical mice for comparison ?
Did you try with all other usb devices removed other than perhaps a keyboard ?
A lot of my usb device disconnection problems seemed to be solved by
using a cheap powered 2000ma usb hub.
There is a 3000ma usb hub out now i notice.

My other USB mouse doesn't work at all. Not a lot of choices out here in the jungle. My USB keyboard works when I plug it in. I can run multiple USB disk drives without a problem.

Yes I have tried using the mouse with no other USB devices attached.
