I found that non-US keyboard layouts were no longer working after this
morning's upgrade. It seems that the combination of the newest version
of hal (0.5.10-1) with xserver-xorg-input-evdev (1:1.2.0~git20070819-3)
causes some problems with xorg input devices.

In my case I found that either downgrading hal (and hal-info) or
uninstalling xserver-xorg-input-evdev fixes the problem.

You could try if one of these actions helps with your mouse issue.
(There are a few mouse-related bug reports open against the
xserver-xorg-input-evdev package, but I did not look at them more
closely.)
