You need to be sure your mouse/keyboard is configured correctly for the newer 
HAL auto input device handling, or to disable that option.  This may be due to a 
mouse configuration you have setup manually in xorg.conf but is being interfered 
with when you start X and login.  See archived mail [1] by Nicholas Mailhot 
about some of this.

My Logitech MX revolution wireless mouse is properly handled without any 
configuration in xorg.conf now, just by setting this (and having no InputDevice 
sections):

Section "ServerFlags"
	Option      "AllowEmptyInput" "True"
	Option      "AutoAddDevices" "True"
	Option      "AutoEnableDevices" "True"
EndSection
