Comment 39 for bug 254840

Fresh install of Beta from 2 days ago... USB keyboard works fine, USB mouse does not. In /var/log/messages I see my USB wheel mouse being detected and set to /class/input/input6. Restarting Gnome (/etc/init.d/gdm restart) did not resolve the problem, and I did a full apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade set and rebooted the entire system just to check.

Have not tried the xorg.conf fix yet, I also have an nvidia card without the restricted drivers installed yet so I'm not sure whether I'll run into the same xorg.conf.failsafe problem as Peter describes above. hald is running, I don't know how to check whether gnome is using any of the /dev/event/input* devices as someone mentioned above - I'll see if I can learn that.

Any ideas are appreciated!
