Seems not to, and nothing happens if I "cat
/dev/input/mice"
and move the mouse. It is a usb mouse.
I tried "gpm -m /dev/input/mice".

Hi, I've got a problem since an upgrade (I don't

work anymore on X, on an debian SID
I don't know who I must blame (hal, udev, the
kernel, xorg
...) so I can't post a bugreport on the good
package. I'll
attach some logfiles, if anyone can help me or

a way

I also filed a udevadm test, if it can help ...

Thomas, does it work in console if you enable gpm?
Just to be sure, did you try to plug it in another USB
port? And
when I said console, I meant enable gpm to start at boot,
reboot,
press alt+ctrl+Fx and see if it moves.
Yep, I did.
I also purged and reinstalled gpm, rebooted, checked the mouse
in console, just to be sure also, it did not worked as
expected (since cat /dev/input/mice don't do anything, and it
is the device used by gpm by default)
I can add that I'm quite sure it is related to the model of
the mouse : I tried with an identical mouse, it did'nt work,
with a microsoft one therer was no problems.
It may be related with a similar issue on ubuntu :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/378818
but may not : in this issue the keyboard (same model as me I
think) did not work also, while mine works. The workaround I
found on his computer to solve the problem on his computer did
not work on mine : I added a mouse and keyboard section as old
times in the xorg.conf file.

Well, it's not only a Xorg problem as long as you see it in the
console. AFAICS from the Ubuntu bug, looks like a kernel problem,
but since their kernel is different from ours, you might wanna try
an (preferably older) kernel and if that works, report a bug.
I tried that just after the upgrade, and the symptoms where the same with the pre-upgrade kernel version at the time, so I suspect it's not really a kernel problem ... plus the dmeg's correctly recognize a HID device, as the dmesg attatched to my first mail shows ... I suspect bug in udev rules or a bug in hal, but since I don't really know how all this work ... I may post a bug in the udev package for a start ...
PS : I forgot to reply to the list, I copy paste the discussion, sorry for that ...
