I have an IBM Thinkpad T30 that I have been triple booting, kubuntu, ubuntu and xubuntu, on sda1, sda2 and sda3, respectively. (The swap partition is sda6, sda5 is /home for kubuntu.) Everything was working fine until I decided I really wanted edubuntu on sda2 instead of ubuntu. I installed a clean edubuntu 10.04 onto sda2. At the log in screen, the mouse is completely dead. The mouse still works in kubuntu and xubuntu when I boot to one of those. The mouse worked when sda2 was ubuntu not edubuntu. Exactly the same hardware -- one laptop. So the problem is definitely edubuntu.

This thread did not solve my problem:

Please help!

I might add that kubuntu and xubuntu are also 10.04, and when ubuntu was on sda2, it was 10.04. The laptop has both a track point (short joy stick) and touch pad as mouse substitutes, and those work in kubuntu and xubuntu (and did work in ubuntu) when I do not have a regular mouse plugged in. The track point and touch pad do not work in edubuntu at any time.
