Re: Bug#482396: Double detecting the same input device
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hello,
this days I just gave the newest version, 1:7.3+18, a try.
Unfortunatelly I found the bug NOT fixed. The xorg is still unusable.
So I did search for the old bug, perhaps I missed to give some
informationes. I found the bug archived. So I unarchived and reopened
the bug as it still exists and still is very important as it renders
xorg nearly unusable!
Please fix the xorg as the version in lenny is absolutelly unusable as
every mouse klick gets interpreted twice!
Ah, yes, and this was the last mail I wrote (I didn't get any answer for
it):

Ps. Crossposting to debian-devel. Maybe someone has more knowledge in
the Source of xorg to dive into the error than me.
