I have downgraded the kernel package, but it didn't help.
So the reason is in the other package.

Temporary solution:

Return legacy input settings to xorg.conf

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
Option "AllowEmpthyInput" "false"
Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection

I have the same problem, started after upgrade of xorg to 7.4 and xf86-input-evdev to 1.3. I guess this package cause the problem

any xorg.log, errorlog ? Did you try with earlier xorg, mouse driver ?

it actually works with all xorgx but not with evdev, 2.2.5 was ok

I have similar problem with my A4Tech X7 after upgrading to evdev 2.3.
The solution of Stanislav Larionov is worked for me, but I was made to write keyboard configuration in xorg.conf. The most interesting thing is that everything works fine with another usb mouse. That's a bit strange.
