Strange mouse behaviour after update

Hello everybody,

I'm experiencing serious problems using Arch after system upgrade

Issue 1: Mouse speed is way too high, actually its acting like crazy.

Issue 2: Panels aren't accessible. If i click somewhere to get a window un-minimized, it appears and vanishes in about 0.01 sec. I can't even really see it. Problem occurs everywhere (pypanel, bmpanel and stalonetray tested).

Anybody can help?

/EDIT: The problem seems to be related to mouse clicking behaviour. Feed drop-down menu in Firefox and text-marking by multi-clicking don't work, too. I can't release the button fast enough not to trigger a multi-click. I remember some X packages were updated, so here's my xorg.conf:

Re: Strange mouse behaviour after update

Happened to me just minutes ago. I rebooted and the problem is resolved.
(perhaps it was enough to restart hal. I left the control of the mouse to hal commenting in the xorg.conf the line: #Option "AutoAddDevices" "False")
