Ubuntu 10.10, 64 bit. After installing normal updates through update-manager, I can't get any USB mouse to work (wired or wireless). Restarting in previous kernel version, the mouse still works. I tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a' and still no mouse. There weren't any obvious errors about a mouse in the log files.
What should I try next to get a mouse working in the updated 2.2.6.35-30.59 version?
I upgraded to 11.04 and have all the updates installed. I also tried installing proposed updates and this broke LIRC (again). I still don't have a working mouse in the new kernel and MythTV doesn't work on the old kernel.
I tried running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a", but this stops after console fonts and after:
...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-11-generic
stop: Unknown instance:
dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: couldn't identify the package
---
On booting into the older kernel, the mouse still works in 11.04.

In earlier VMware conflict, I had 'blacklist usbhid' and 'blacklist snd-usb-audio' in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. to get a Linksys CIT-200 working. I commented these line, then restarted. The mouse is now working.
