[SOLVED]Mouse freezes

Question

After booting up the system the cursor gets frozen. The mouse is a humble usb mouse, nothing special. It always worked. My system is kde 4.3.
If anyone could suggest  some solution, I would appreciate it.
This is the xorg.conf file
Section "ServerLayout"

Answer 1

Well I think even if you tried without an xorg.conf file altogether you would still have the same problem.
You can see that the mouse drops off then hal adds it and then it fails again.
If I didn't know better I would say faulty hardware.
Do you have another you can test?
edit: of course I could be wrong
Looks like others are having the same problem here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77662
Might be a problem with the new xorg-server package.
