i am not able to get my dell latitude d600 computer to recognize and use my logictech optical USB mouse. I have just done a apt-get upgrade, but it did not help. Below is some diagnostic output. I have searched the web and the archives, and there is no satisfactory solution to this problem that i have found. could somebody please point me to the right resource to fix this. thank you.

this 'dmesg' was performed right after plugging the mouse in. the system seems to recognize the mouse, but the mouse will not move.

root@iceboc:/# dmesg
