Re: Bug#772624: dmesg output



To me it looks like the mouse device is recognized by (udev?) at boot - I can see that in the log, but for some reason it is not activated.
When I then unplug it and plug back, it is both recognized and activated. See the log excerpts I sent earlier on.

Why do you think it is necessary to have a mouse driver in the
initramfs?  (I realise hid-generic isn't just for mice.)

(As for the initramfs configuration, we really ought to add some
comments to initramfs.conf about the other configuration files as I
believe d-i *always* creates that overriding file.)
