Mouse and trackpad stopped working on an Asus Eee1215n












1















I have an Asus Eee 1215n.



I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 and the USB mouse and trackpad just stopped working. What could've caused that? How do I go about debugging it?

This question came from our site for users of Linux, FreeBSD and other Un*x-like operating systems.



















  • I'd hit up your /var/log/Xorg.0.log first and look for errors pertaining to your mouse. See if there are any EE lines that give any clues.
