I realize this thread is over a month old now, but I just had the same 
problem on 9.2-RELEASE after updating KDE.  Actually I updated KDE a 
week or two ago (with many other problems - namely kde-workspace and 
openGLES), but only rebooted my box today to find that I had this 
problem.  After verifying my hald was still running and restarting it 
made no change I decided to (only) reinstall the xf86-input-mouse port 
and it started working again.
