xserver-xorg-core alone did not really work since the server complained
about incompatible ABI versions.  I've now downgraded xserver-xorg,
xserver-xorg-core, xlibs-data, xserver-xorg-input-kbd and
xserver-xorg-input-mouse to the versions for etch (I guess).  That did
not help, unfortunately.  I'll try a little more tomorrow.

Yes.  The new xorg.conf generated by `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
contained a reference to this device.

Nothing appears.  So perhaps it's really a problem of the kernel or a
related package.

Thanks, I fixed that.
