Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2
Severity: normal

The new evdev driver doesn't work for mice on powerpc (same config
works on x86).  I've tried to use the following section:

,----
| Section "InputDevice"
|         Identifier      "MX1000"
|         Driver          "evdev"
|         Option          "CorePointer"
|         Option          "Protocol"              "evdev"
|         Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mx1000"
|         Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "false"
| EndSection
`----

where /dev/input/mx1000 is a event device renamed by this udev rule:

,----
| ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Logitech", SYSFS{product}=="USB Receiver", NAME="input/mx1000"
`----

As said, this works fine on x86 but on powerpc X dies with:

,----
| (**) Option "CorePointer"
| (**) MX1000: Core Pointer
| (**) MX1000: Device: "/dev/input/mx1000"
| (WW) MX1000: Don't know how to use device
| (EE) PreInit failed for input device "MX1000"
| (II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
| (WW) No core pointer registered
`----


6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 worked fine with the old evdev driver and the
configuration described at
