[Asus M3N78-EM] Mouse/keyboard stop working with 3.11 -lts-saucy kernel

[Otus]

My USB mouse and keyboard work fine with the 3.2 kernels, but after installing the -lts-saucy kernel + xorg only one of mouse/keyboard work at boot (despite working in grub) and after unplugging/replugging neither works.

The light doesn't even come on in the device in question. Selecting an older kernel from the list they both again work, as does hotplug.

With lsusb from a 3.2 kernel my hardware says it's:

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04d9:1133 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc.
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 04d9:1603 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. Keyboard

They are Fujitsu Siemens branded devices that came with a prebuilt desktop.

Otus, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M3N78EM/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your BIOS is available (0901). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Thank you for your understanding.
