Hi everybody,

I've been noticing this also since a few days and have the same mouse
model. For me it's getting triggered when hald (which seemingly still
is needed by KDE4) is started:

the first significant related change that catches my eye is:

http://git.eu.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8fe294caf8c868edd9046251824a0af91991bf43
HID: fix hiddev's use of usb_find_interface

Could this be the cause ?

@Alex Riesen:

maybe you could try to revert that commit
(http://git.eu.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=patch;h=8fe294caf8c868edd9046251824a0af91991bf43)
and see whether that fixes it, I'll do the same in my free time

Mat
