Subject: [gentoo-user] USB mouse and keyboard stopped working
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:40:40 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <yu9hami559z.fsf@nyu.edu> (raw)

The external (USB) mouse on one of my laptops stopped working.
I tried a keyboard and that failed as well.

There are two USB ports and the mouse fails on both (only tried the
keyboard on one).

I can dual boot into windows and there the mouse does work on both
ports.

The kernel is unchanged (3.5.4).  This seems to have happened around the
last udev update (now 197-r2), which caused other problems (these have
been repaired using suggestions from this group).

I would appreciate any help.
