Hi,

i'm using evdev with my mouse to get all the buttons to work and since
the last upgrade X doesn't startup anymore with this entry.

The section is
--snip--
Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
 Driver          "evdev"
 Option          "CorePointer"
 Option          "Device" "/dev/input/laserG5"
EndSection
--snap--

and the error output:
--snip--
(EE) PreInit returned NULL for "Configured Mouse"
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning:          Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2
> symbols
>                   Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
No core pointer
--snap--

a workaround is to comment out the section and work with the standard
from xorg. (but now i'm missing some buttons)

Hope you can locate the problem with my few informations.

Regards,
Matthias

Looks like a configuration problem, since the manpage explains that
device has to be /dev/input/eventX.
