This is an intermittent problem. My mouse works on boot, but stops working periodically. Once it stops, I have to reboot the computer. The problem is more than a little annoying. My hardware and software is as follows:
*AMD Phenom X3
*Integrated geForce 8200 GS
*Opensuse 11.3 64-bit
*Mouse - microsoft wireless comfort mouse 2.0
*Keyboard - microsoft wireless comfort keyboard 1.0A
I am not sure what logs I should attach.
The contents of /var/log/messages leading up to the mouse stopping is as follows:

The last few entries repeat themselves quite a bit. They are caused by the signal the keyboard and mouse send communicating the current battery level.
I have not had this problem with earlier versions of opensuse.
