Bug#347950: xserver-xorg: no longer finding evdev mouse driver on startup!
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-5
I know it's a month on from the original report but I've been happily
using MX1000 with evdev on xserver-xorg 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 and earlier but
have just updated to xserver-xorg 6.9.0.dfsg.1-5 and now cannot start
xserver because of this problem. It seems like evdev cannot
find/identify the device - as previously described.
I've tried a few of the suggested workarounds without success although
most of the advice seems to be referring to a different problem.
In particular when I change the device to /dev/input/event0 or event1
rather than the udev created /dev/input/mx1000, it causes xserver to
seg-fault.
From my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech MX1000"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mx1000"
EndSection
and the logs:
evdev brain: Rescanning devices (1)
(EE) PreInit returned NULL for "Logitech MX1000"
(WW) No core pointer registered
