Just a releated "me too" but in my case the mouse (usb) is not detected at
all. Unplugging and replugging it in fixes the problem. It probably doesn't
get detected 50-60% of the time. It doesn't appear to just be a mouse
problem though. I ran the LXDE remix on my EEEPC and the same thing happened
with the touch pad. Reloading Xorg fixed it.
