USB-mouse works now, but it needed some changes in xorg.conf in the 

 Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier "Default Layout"
   Screen "Default Screen"
   InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
#   InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "AlwaysCore"
   InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
   Option      "AIGLX" "on"
 EndSection

instead of the formely:

No idea why, but now the usb-mouse and the touchpad are working.
