Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-mouse

xserver-xorg-input-mouse latest as of Dec 31, 2009

I am taking a stab at which package might be causing the issue.  Forum
searches suggest Gnome and KDE issues in Karmic.

My observed issue: Thinkpad has two sets of trackpad buttons, one above
and one below.  Both used to work.  Lower set does not usually work
anymore; however, out of wake from suspend, the left lower one will.

At the same time this issue was observed, there seems to be a conflict
with an inserted usb mouse where both the mouse and keyboard clicks fail
to respond, although cursor can be moved.  Two actions will get response
back: plug in a usb mouse or, of mouse is plugged in, unplug and replug
it.  Also, holding the power button, assuming this action is set in
power management to "prompt logout dialog" will allow the desktop to log
out, then back in and function is restored to the usb mouse and keyboard
(and touchpad except for of course the lower mouse buttons).

Disabling the trackpad in gsynaptic seems to solve the issue, at least
within the past 12 hours.  Unfortunately, a USB mouse must be available
and this isn't really a workaround.

These issues do not happen in an earlier version of a bootable Karmic
iso I have on USB stick, Knoppix 6.02, or in Windows XP, so this is not
a "broken hardware" issue.

If I can provide some further detail from a log file, please request it.
I am not sure where to look since this is a intermittent issue.
