I have all of those.  Log is attached.  I'm not sure how this Mac (my
current access to the problem machine) will show it.

Ok, I compared to my log and there are things just missing from yours :/

I assume hal is running on that machine. Also check the output of
'lshal' and look for the devices that have 'input.x11_driver' option set
(maybe post the relevant entries here), because only such devices are
eligible for X11 input devices. Maybe hal just doesn't recognize your
stuff.


There are no input.x11 devices in the hal database! I clearly totally missed some basic changes in Xorg. I have been looking for documentation on this change and haven't found enough.

Thanks,

Paul
