Strange, if you have customized XF86Config-4 (every should, as there is
no default), it should (a) leave it alone, or (b) ask you what to do.
If it does neither, then it is bug that needs to be filed.
Hi Roberto!
Yes, there is definately something wrong, since it didn't ask aswell.
Bug filed: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=312101
Let's see what the X folks say...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I did the Sarge update/dist-upgrade last night as well - no questions. I'm
remote from my servers today, so I can't test the mouse, but my mouse
section of my XF86Config-4 appears unchanged, so I expect it to work.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Do others remember specific changes to this file?
