Bug#442915 can be closed. In xorg.conf, I needed to specify

InputDevice     "USB Mouse"             "SendCoreEvents"

It is odd that the old setting with

InputDevice     "USB Mouse"             "CorePointer"

worked fine for all previous versions of xorg.

However, I still cannot start the Xserver to start on the Thinkpad
without xorg.conf, and actually I get the same error about framebuffer
mentioned above with a different computer, also tracking unstable. This
does not really bother me now that my xorg.conf is set correctly, but
maybe you consider it important. So, it could be ignored, or I could
open a bug against xserver on BTS or freedesktop; it's up to you.

Thanks,
Ben
