Bug#443441: Duplicate mouse events with Xserver 1.4



Hi,

This is an "issue" that might affect a number of people upgrading.  It
hit me as well.  I think I know why the config files are wrong.

I think it might have come from old XF86Config-4 files (which I still
have in /etc/X11) which had blocks like:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option          "Buttons"               "7"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

Which have been upgraded semi-automatically to xorg.conf files with the
psaux being replaced (by something) to /dev/input/mice.  As I now have
"Configured Mouse" and "Generic Mouse" both using the mouse driver and
both pointing to /dev/input/mice.

This configuration broke last week when I upgraded to 1.4.

As noting in the closing submission on this bug, I'll change "Configured
Mouse" to use evdev and see what happens or just get rid of "Generic
Mouse", or whatever, I now know where to look.

Thank you for your efforts!
