Comment 3 for bug 148589

Thanks for the response.

I tried modifying xorg.conf as suggested but it didn't seem to make any difference. The requested output from the xorg log is included below.
Note this problem affects both the mouse and keyboard.

My current work around for this problem is to plug the mouse and keyboard into a PCI card that has usb ports.
With this setup the mouse and keyboard works without any problems, although it means that I can't use the keyboard early the boot process (eg. to select a different kernel to boot).
Also, the output in the xorg log when restarting X with the mouse plugged into the PCI card seems to be exactly the same as the output when restarting X with the mouse plugged into a standard usb port.

Thanks
Toro
