Bug#269407: dexconf: generates duplicate mouse devices
Package: xserver-common
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: normal
dexconf generates the following text in ServerLayout:
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Generic Mouse"
The corresponding entries are:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
This might be the cause for bugs, see for instance:

According to a private message with the reporter, removing the duplicate
entry solved his problem.
Indeed, after I manually commented out the second InputDevice line, I
noticed the mouse moving about twice as slow, which suggests that events
were processed twice.
I'm running kernel 2.6.6-2-686 on a testing/unstable machine.
Cheers,
Daniel
