Yes, I re-emerged all the drivers after X-server upgrade. |

I tried this and it turned out that with my old kernel (3.4.5) , I |
| 21 |
can see both Touchpad and USB mouse devices, whereas with the new one |
| 22 |
(3.5.0) I can see only Touchpad. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I also discovered some difference in /var/log/messages log during |
| 25 |
re-attaching the mouse to USB port with two different kernels: 3.4.5 |
| 26 |
and 3.5.0. |
| 27 |
With 3.5.6 I get these messages (and mouse works): |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |

| 30 |

| 38 |
[Genius Optical Mouse] on usb-0000:00:0b.0-3/input0 |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
With 3.5.0 I get only these: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
kernel: usb 1-3: new low-speed USB device number 5 using ohci_hcd |
| 43 |
kernel: usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=0458, idProduct=003a |

| 46 |
kernel: usb 1-3: Product: Optical Mouse |
| 47 |
kernel: usb 1-3: Manufacturer: Genius |
| 48 |
|

So it looks like the problem is not with X-server, but with the new |
| 50 |
kernel. I'm puzzled, because all the drivers I used with my old kernel |
| 51 |
are there for the new one. |
