Public bug reported: I have a dock station for my laptop which has additional ports. I have dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu 12.04 Beta (upgraded right now from 11.10 because of the same problem). The same mouse is working fine under windows 7, while in Ubuntu, it worked for the first boot with mouse plugged in, after that, it does not work at all, only the light under it works (its a hp optical mouse) to show it is detected by the computer, and also suggested by the following commands and their output. ~$ xsetpointer -l | grep Pointer 2: "Virtual core pointer" [XPointer] 4: "Virtual core XTEST pointer" [XExtensionPointer] 13: "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" [XExtensionPointer] 14: "PS/2 Generic Mouse" [XExtensionPointer] Now I don't know how to resolve this problem. Please note that previously I have USB optical Track Ball, Which I replaced with this Hp Optical Ps/2 Mouse. It worked for the first boot only in Ubuntu 11.10, after that nothing seems to work.
