Working right now, with an old wireless mouse and its receiver. The log looks fine, both mice are recognized when I power up the port the dongle is plugged into, but the new about 2 weeks ago Acer mouse does not move the onscreen pointer, while a ratty old logitech works fine but its long lost its bottom skid pads so it doesn't have that "feel".
