My mouse became unusable (frozen) after the upgrade (done the debian
way, with the kernel and udev upgraded first). It would come back after
a reboot, maybe, or not. i.e.--sometimes it would work, sometimes not.
Very Windows-like, btw...

As far as I know, I am not running any unusual software that isn't
currently supported...
Thanks to all for your input...
