Sorry, the fix for that one didn't made it to the beta3 media, beta4
should be fine.

For the time being:  Fetch a new xen kernel from
http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/sle10-sp-x86_64/SLES10_SP1_BRANCH/
and install that one inside the virtual machine.  That makes the mouse
work again.

Then open /etc/X11/xorg.conf in your favorite editor and update the
Mouse section to look like this:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "evdev"
  Identifier   "Mouse[1]"
  Option       "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
EndSection

This will fix the mouse tracking.

enjoy,
  Gerd
