You need to be sure your mouse/keyboard is configured correctly for the newer
HAL auto input device handling, or to disable that option. This may be due to a
mouse configuration you have setup manually in xorg.conf but is being interfered
with when you start X and login. See archived mail [1] by Nicholas Mailhot
about some of this.

My Logitech MX revolution wireless mouse is properly handled without any
configuration in xorg.conf now, just by setting this (and having no InputDevice
sections):
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "True"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "True"
Option "AutoEnableDevices" "True"
EndSection
