I also discovered some difference in /var/log/messages log during re-attaching the mouse to USB port with two different kernels: 3.4.5 and 3.5.0. With 3.5.6 I get these messages (and mouse works): kernel: usb 1-3: new low-speed USB device number 3 using ohci_hcd kernel: usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=0458, idProduct=003a kernel: usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 kernel: usb1-3: Product: Optical Mouse kernel: usb 1-3:Manufacturer: Genius kernel: input: Genius Optical Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.0/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/input/input8 kernel: generic-usb 0003:0458:003A.0002: input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Genius Optical Mouse] on usb-0000:00:0b.0-3/input0 With 3.5.0 I get only these: kernel: usb 1-3: new low-speed USB device number 5 using ohci_hcd kernel: usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=0458, idProduct=003a kernel: usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 kernel: usb 1-3: Product: Optical Mouse kernel: usb 1-3: Manufacturer: Genius So it looks like the problem is not with X-server, but with the new kernel. I'm puzzled, because all the drivers I used with my old kernel are there for the new one. > Though I would think it's more likely a problem with upgrading your X > packages.
