I am afraid I cannot reproduce this. I have two machines,
including my laptop, and I tried adding a USB mouse and keyboard to
both, and they both worked.
I think we need more details in order for us to be able to help
solve this problem; and this might explain the lack of response
earlier -- people might not be seeing the same issues, and thus can't
debug it without more information.

Then perhaps you-know-what _is_ the better solution, as far as
you are concerned. I don't think we should be brow beating people into
usding free software -- it should be their cohice. If they do not like
what free software has to offer, and like some other solution better,
we should respect that decision.

$ apt-cache search linux-image
$ aptitude install <linux-image-foo of your choice>
$ update-grub (or the like, if you have not edited /etc/kernel-img.conf)
$ reboot.

I think with the kernel above, you should be able to mount an
NTFS volume (mount -t ntfs) without using fuse.
