Yes, that 'fix' worked for me too, i have a logitech usb mouse, that was
connected thru an usb/ps2 adaptor. Removing the adaptor was the solution.
But the problem remains.
Why if works for a few days and then suddenly stops?
Which manouver (apt-get or other?) broke it?

Is there a story or log in debian of apt-get and dpkg execution? This could help
figure it out.


p.s. i have 3 other strange problems with this debian installation that i
attribute to modules. 1=parport_pc not loaded,2=alsa not loaded
correctly,3=smbfs module loaded but no mount possible.
