I have noticed a few quirks while viewing a video in the Firefox browser. I shutdown the corresponding Gnome session. When I tried to login again a bit later, I have noticed that the mouse pointer did not move. My mouse MX™ 600 previously worked also with the setting "MX310".

I was stuck with navigation by keys. So I switched to the command line to reset the expected values. (It was an unpleasant experience to move through the input fields with the tab key. Some accelerators/access keys seemed to get ignored.) http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:X_Server_Configuration_with_SaX2_%288.1_or_Higher... /root> init 3 [...] /root> sax2 -r
I have noticed a few moments later that the entry "<none>" was shown for the mouse and a Microsoft model was displayed for the keyboard. I set the appropriate values.
Hm. For me this rather sounds like hardware failure than anything else.
Can you check the output of
hwinfo --mouse
? You might want to try a hard reset (including switching off power) as
well, before trying to reconfigure the mouse with 'sax2 -r'.
If you cannot get any mouse events printed by
evtest /dev/input/event* (you have to select the right one by trying)
then either your hardware is broken, or the kernel isn't detecting your
mouse any longer. If a different version of SuSE still works, create a
bug report.
