first time Ubuntu user here. ubuntu 18.04. Sorry if this has been asked before. I have a wireless Fenifox mouse keyboard both using the same usb wireless dongle. They worked right out of the box without any drivers. I have my screen set to go to sleep after 15 minutes. When I wake the computer back up, the keyboard works fine, but the mouse does not work. I have to toggle the little power on /off under the mouse a few times and move the mouse around a bunch before the cursor starts working again. This is never a problem when first turning on the computer, just when it wakes back up from sleep....any thoughts? I am not very proficent with the terminal, so if there is stuff I need to do on there, please make it as simple as possible, thanks in advance.

We had the same problem with the touchpad on Lenovo Extreme and Carbon on Bionic (Ubuntu 18.04). I was having to run sudo rmmod psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse. I never figured out why, but the mouse driver gets hung after returning from suspend. This underlying driver is the same as a regular mouse.
