I have to use the mouse, which is regularly detected and fully working. It has always happened with all the kernels I used since Ubuntu 10. It seems that it is not detected by the kernel when it scans the bus for input devices. Following is dmesg, devices and Xorg.0.log. Thanks for looking into this and for your excellent work in general. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
