No surprise. People still barking up the hardware tree,
while all evidence is pointing up the software tree :)

 - change came with an upgrade
 - change from wireless mouse to wired: no effect
 - other distro: mouse works

If you are able to get a terminal running under your
crippled X11 [1], then it'd be interesting to compare
the output of "xinput --list --long" between a working
and a non-working config.

My hunch would be that something's rotten in the state
of Sid.

[1] Never tried it, but "setxkbmap -option keypad:pointerkeys"
   reportedly gives you a keyboard mouse:
   setxkbmap -option keypad:pointerkeys.
   Alternatively, you can always log into a Linux terminal
   and talk to your X like so:
   DISPLAY=:0 xinput --list --long
   (or whatever your DISPLAY var under X is).
