This is with using a Dell optical usb mouse connected to server, which is running RHEL 7.6.
What causes this and is there a way to stop it? It is especially annoying if at runlevel 3 the monitor connected to server repeatedly displays this after the login prompt, as well as if anyone logs in at the terminal.
I believe on another server also running rhel 7.6 I disabled xchi handoff in bios, and I don't think I am getting these repeated messages. However on this server whether xhci is disabled or enabled I am still getting these entries in message log
if you google images M-UVDEL1 it is that mouse.
