mouse not working on first login only

Hi,
I have a pretty strange problem with my mouse: when I log in for the first time after my laptop boots (using slim as login manager and awesome as wm, if that matters), I can move my mouse cursor around, but neither mouse button works (and there is no signal when I try xev, neither for moving the cursor nor for clicking).  But if I forcefully quit X (ctrl-alt-bksp), log in and re-startx, then everything works fine.  Anyone had this problem before / know how to deal with it?
Thanks in advance.

Re: mouse not working on first login only

what driver are you using?

What gives the following? :

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

Here is my 10-evdev.conf:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev pointer catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
        Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev tablet catchall"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
        MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"

Re: mouse not working on first login only

The X log should let you know what is happening with the mouse.
