Bug#385078: xserver-xorg: impossible mouse configuration other than /dev/input/mice
tags 385078 +patch
thank you
Please try this patch. I'm not a bash (nor debconf!) guru but I think
that it address your concerns regarding the non-interactivity for the
mouse device setting. Please let me know if the patch works for you.
Therefore I'm providing:
1) A full, NMU-ready, source package in [1]
2) i386 binary packages in [1], and
3) A diff regarding the config.in, which you'll find attached
Note that this upload does not fix several Lintian warnings that my
build system reports. I will be glad to fix this if the patch works.
Thank you very much for your time and attention to details.
Jose
