USB Mouse on Acer Aspire One

I recently tested the functionality of a USB mouse attached to my Acer Aspire One (AA1). I attached a Microsoft Optical Mouse Blue USB and PS/2 Compatible mouse and started the AA1 without issue. Both the left and right mouse buttons worked as did the scroll wheel and center mouse mouse button (scroll wheel).

The output from from dmesg is:


ALC INIT<6>usbcore: registered new interface driver hiddev
input: Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-2/2-2:1.0/input/input8
input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM)] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-2



Unplugging the mouse and reattaching while the AA1 is running again was no problem and produces a dmesg output of:



usb 2-2: USB disconnect, address 2
usb 2-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
