Hi, Upgraded sid two days ago for the first time for a week or so. Today have serious mouse problems. Xfce on AMD. First thing tried of course was another mouse, just the same.<snip> The computer is barely usable in this state. There were too many packages upgraded, including the kernel, to be able to narrow down the culprit or attempt a rollback, well over 100. Google tells me various things about making the mouse do things, but they all seem to involve some extra mouse tweak package, none of which I have installed.
I would boot into the CMOS/BIOS/System Setup, and make sure the mouse works properly there (assuming your hardware has such a setup).
I would try a different (new) user. I would try in console-mode only (may have to install 'gpm'). Then go from there. -- Kent
