Mouse stopped working from one day to another

hi,

I got following problem:
The mouse cursor isn't moving anymore, although I move the mouse.
Also, Some key-combinations doesn't work anymore (including [ctrl]-[alt]-[backspace] and the sysrq-calls).

Yesterday it worked perfectly, and I didn't change anything!
No changes in the 10-x11-input.fdi, no hal-, dbus- or xorg-server updates.

Sometimes I cannot even switch to the tty's, I have to press [ctrl]-[alt]- [F1] multiple times before it switches.

So, here's my xorg.conf:
http://dpaste.com/51833/

and my /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi:
http://dpaste.com/51835/

BTW: The mouse is not broken, it works on knoppix and gentoo....
So I think this is an hal/xorg error....

Re: Mouse stopped working from one day to another

Do you have your mouse and keyboard plugged into a USB hub in your screen? If you do this, when you turn off the screen (or it goes into powersave), your mouse and keyboard will be disconnected, and reconnected when it turns back on. This should work fine anyway with hotplugging, but you can never be too sure...

Re: Mouse stopped working from one day to another

No, both are plugged in the PC...
The mouse is connected via USB
The keyboard via the "normal" keyboard connection (the purple plug ... don't now how it's called)
