    I had a distant-cousin problem of this a while back with FC1 and a
    logitech usb mouse. It locked up at bootup. I tried running kudzu
    from the CL but that REALLY hosed it up. Fyi, this was back when I
    was using GNOME and it got too boggy, so I decided to defect across
    the border to KDE. I think FC1 had USB problems judging by this and
    other issues.
    Wound up doing a reinstall and choosing another mouse, that was the
    only way I knew to fix it. Luckily this was a relatively new install
    anyway. I think I went to the generic choice and it fixed it.
