Things seem to be getting worse. Now after a clean reboot, my external
USB keyboard and mouse send events to X only after I've called lsusb
from the console, and only then for a short while.

After about 10 seconds, my mouse disappears once again, and lsusb needs
to be called again in order to redetect it, after which it works again
for about 10 seconds before dying again and so on.

As long as the mouse continues sending events (I roll the trackball
around) it stays connected. The moment it is idle again, it's
permanently disconnected until another lsusb. This is also now under the
generic natty kernel.

My builtin keyboard and mouse work throughout.

I'll see if I can eliminate some kind of physical issue with the mouse
when I get hold of another one. As for physical issues with the laptop,
I don't know what I can check to ensure that the USB subsystem isn't
actually disappearing and then reappearing on the bus because of some
wiring issue, but the fact it stays connected while sending events,
suggests to me that it's software.

Is there anything I can do to force the reconfiguration of the usb
subsystem or kernel modules, beyond reverting to the natty 2.6.38-8
kernel, which I've already done. Something in my build needs a good
kick.
