Description
Hey! When I run sudo ./ml_manage.sh load, it returns no output, but my mouse pointer disappears until I unplug and re-plug it back in. Then, I execute gcc -o ml_control user-space.c, and again, no output.
I'm on Linux Mint. If you need any info, feel free to comment!
I'm trying to get this driver so that I can fix this bug with a program in Java I'm working on to control the launcher:
javax.usb.UsbPlatformException: USB error 3: Can't open device Bus 002 Device 011: ID 0a81:0701: Access denied (insufficient permissions)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the pointer failure on Linux Mint with sudo ./ml_manage.sh load, then inspect ml_manage.sh and user-space.c to identify which operation precedes the freeze. Review the Java usb4java exception as a separate access-permission symptom. Done means the launcher can be loaded without the mouse pointer disappearing and the observed behavior is covered by a reproducible test or documented diagnosis.
