Hi :) the most important issue is, that the USB mouse cursor can't be moved after the login manager GDM3 is launched. I booted in recovery mode and got the latest upgrades, but they didn't solve the issue.
Now I'm booted to another Linux. If I backup /home, I could recover testing from a backup I made yesterday and then add /home from today. A less important problem for the moment is, that I'm able to boot a self made 2.6.39.1 preempt with threadirqs set, but when I boot the Debian's 2.6.39-2-amd64, I get a black screen. I suspect that the nvidia-173.14.30 driver package that I kept (it's dropped for testing) now cause issues when building modules. I had some voodoo when I tried to build headers for kernel 3.0.9-rt25 today. Anyway, the mouse cursor was ok, this has nothing to do with tries to build and install kernel headers. The last startup was around 14:00 German time, then I only upgraded, received emails and used a browser, shutdown and with the next startup the cursor freeze. The mouse and USB hardware is ok, Edubuntu 10.10 still is working without issues. Fortunately synaptic has got a history, unfortunately I don't know the name of the file containing this information. Hm? I'll test a PS/2 mouse. I already bought the USB mouse because Debian dropped the mouse wheel support for my PS/2 mouse. I guess I'll switch to Arch Linux, anyway, hints how to repair this new USB mouse cursor issue are still welcome. I prefer not to restore it from the backup. IMO Debian switched to a strange policy. It was my preferred distro, I just had a short break when 64 Studio switched from Debian to Ubuntu. When I came back to Debian in May nearly everything was still the old faithful Debian way, but during the last 1/2 year Debian testing became a PITA. Especially that they dropped the xserver nv package and the proprietary Nvidia package that automatically build modules for Debian kernels and self build kernels is a PITA. I kept those packages. Switching to Xfce seems not to protect me against issues that might be caused by upgrades for GNOME. Cheers!
