Or is it with the way the new kernel is passing device info to the X-server and its modules? I would try unmerging the mouse driver and only leave evdev and synaptics to deal with input events. Initially try without an /etc/X11/xorg.conf and only the default configuration for evdev. Then you can tweak the evdev configuration file to see if it starts picking up the mouse events. -- Regards, Mick
