Bug#347950: xserver-xorg: no longer finding evdev mouse driver on startup!



As much as I was hoping the evdev rewrite was going to solve everyone's problems
and get us all singing and dancing in peaceful harmony, the latest reports from
upstream ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5696 ) seem to suggest
that not only is it not neccesarilly correcting some of the older issues, they're
adding new problems as they go.

The state of evdev right now to me seems to be some distance from a quality
acceptable even for consideration in unstable, and what's in unstable already seems
to be making enough problems to discourage serious testing.

How hard would it be to get the old Protocol:evdev AND the new rewritten evdev
driver so that people have the ability to give each implementation the testing they
need but still have an X server that's halfway practical?
