As you say, nothing out of the ordinary (which kernel is this one?).
What do you find in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

just info that it loaded.<br>

in dmesg only:<br>
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice<br>
<br>
(I do get messages in /var/log/messages of sync lost from mouse but
that was a message from yesterday. Not relevant to today's new kernel
install)<br>
Today's messages in /var/log/messages just say<br>
<time_stamp> localhost kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for
all mice<br>

I think I know what it is. I'm using an extender that extends the
monitor/kybd/mouse over a shielded cat5 cable. I plugged a mouse
directly into the PC and it worked. I bet it's some timing that has
changed - in something - that this extender can't see for the mouse.<br>
