Just installed Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit through wubi on my Asus A52F. Now I can't get my usb mouse working. I made sure to update the xserver-xorg-input-mouse driver through software center, trackpad is working fine

jesse@ubuntu:~$ xsetpointer -l | grep Pointer
2: "Virtual core pointer"   [XPointer]
4: "Virtual core XTEST pointer" [XExtensionPointer]
12: "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad"  [XExtensionPointer]

Can you confirm the module psmouse is loaded? Try running sudo modprobe psmouse to see if this solves your problem, although it should be already loaded. – Wolter Hellmund May 7 '12 at 1:25

Just as a troubleshooting step, have you tried this both with "Legacy USB support" turned on, and off, in your computer's BIOS?

It took turning off legacy support that seems to fix it for now. Unfortunately the keyboard isn't recognized during boot, so the fix is a pain in the tail.
