Mouse and trackpad stopped working on an Asus Eee1215n

Question

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?

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. — Matt Barnes, May 10 '12 at 06:27

Have a look at the following link too, which was also a similar issue with a hp mini netbook.

do you use lightdm? give gdm a try

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm and choose gdm as default.

I hope this helps anyone.
