My system has always been pretty sensitive to things like the mouse and 
early canidates for 1.5 would hang if I tried to use the A3 mouse.  I 
tested the patches that went into the 1.5 release and they solved the 
problem on my system.  As far as I know there weren't any others who 
noted mouse problems with the 1.5 pre-release, so the fix that worked on 
my system may not be sufficent to solve this.

I have noticed that sometimes the keyboard appears dead or seems to have 
a stuck key on boot, but rebooting always solved the problem.  

It looks like we really need a few more people testing the code on 
different systems before a new release gets frozen.
