"certain mouse operations" - care to clarify?

When I did a clean install of 4.2.0 debs I too got a "Generic Mouse"
section that refered to /dev/input/mice (and I'm prety sure that I didn't
answer any questions in such a way as to suggest this).
Figuring that it was irrelevant, I commented out this bit of the config
and made sure that my "Configured Mouse" was a reasonable reflection of
reality.
What does your "Configured Mouse" section look like, what kind of mouse do
you have and how's it connected?

Does it have teh same mouse configuration?
