Seems not to, and nothing happens if I "cat
/dev/input/mice"
and move the mouse. It is a usb mouse.
I tried "gpm -m /dev/input/mice".

Thomas, does it work in console if you enable
gpm?
Just to be sure, did you try to plug it in another USB
port? And
when I said console, I meant enable gpm to start at
boot,
reboot,
press alt+ctrl+Fx and see if it moves.
Yep, I did.
I also purged and reinstalled gpm, rebooted, checked
the mouse
in console, just to be sure also, it did not worked as
expected (since cat /dev/input/mice don't do anything,
and it
is the device used by gpm by default)
I can add that I'm quite sure it is related to the model of
the mouse : I tried with an identical mouse, it did'nt
work,
with a microsoft one therer was no problems.
It may be related with a similar issue on ubuntu :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/378818
but may not : in this issue the keyboard (same model as
me I
think) did not work also, while mine works. The
workaround I
found on his computer to solve the problem on his
computer did
not work on mine : I added a mouse and keyboard section
as old
times in the xorg.conf file.

Well, it's not only a Xorg problem as long as you see it in the
console. AFAICS from the Ubuntu bug, looks like a kernel
problem,
but since their kernel is different from ours, you might
wanna try
an (preferably older) kernel and if that works, report a bug.
I tried that just after the upgrade, and the symptoms where
the same with the pre-upgrade kernel version at the time, so I
suspect it's not really a kernel problem ... plus the dmeg's
correctly recognize a HID device, as the dmesg attatched to my
first mail shows ... I suspect bug in udev rules or a bug in
hal, but since I don't really know how all this work ... I may
post a bug in the udev package for a start ...
PS : I forgot to reply to the list, I copy paste the
discussion, sorry for that ...
Would you please post the exact kernel versions you are using?
Kernel versions tested :
* 2.6.30-1-686 #1 SMP
* 2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP (but it warns me at boot time that the kernel is
two old for this version of udev - no sysfs)
* 2.6.29-2-686 #1 SMP
I'm sure that the 2.6.26 and olders did not had any problems with this
mouse, so I doubt the problem comes from the kernel itself.
My udev version is 146-6 and my hal-version is 0.5.13-3
You want to post a bugreport on the kernel package ?
