I'm not sure.  I'm seeing the same thing; but it's fine until the
start of X.  However, in my case the mouse and keyboard are plugged
into a USB hub on my monitor, and unplugging and reconnecting the
hub to the main system results in them working again.

Does this alter the behaviour at all?


I can't see what has changed here that could affect this, so a bit
more information would be appreciated if possible.  I'm not sure
how USB device availability is related to /tmp, but hopefully some
more investigation will help here.


Thanks,
Roger
