Bug#370710: xserver-xorg-input-evdev: mouse dev must be of the type "event*"
Package: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Version: 1:1.1.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #370710
it seems it's not the fact that was a symlink after all. even as a
hardlink but named e.g. "logitech" it fails with the same error type
(EE) PreInit returned NULL for "mymouse"
but if it's a symlink or a hardlink named e.g. "input/event9", it will
continue.
