Debian Sid, Xorg - mouse doesn't work
Hi,
I have a problem after I apt-upgraded Debian Sid a couple of days ago.
It seems that some xserver-xorg-* or hal* packages broke my mouse in X.
The result is I have no working mouse in X - it displays cursor, that's
it. I managed to operate the mouse with keyboard 'emulation', but it's
very inconvenient. I got the latest today - still no change.
I'm sure the mouse is OK - it works on other PCs. This is USB mouse; and
it's configured both as evdev and /dev/mice (the reason for the double
config is that the mouse is connected through a KVM, but it worked
before; moreover I tried also 'standard' config with /dev/mice only -
still doesn't work). When I switch to console as root and do
# cat /dev/mice
I receive lots of 'garbage' when I move the mouse - so the system sees it.
I removed xserver-xorg-input-evdev temporarily as it messed my keyboard;
but I still have problems with the mouse.
May I get some help - what can I do? Or should I wait for some update
which eventually fixes the problem?
Cheers,
Michal R. Hoffmann
