Same problem here. I removed a 2nd mouse entry from my xorg.conf and restarted gdm and the behaviour is still bizarre.
Here's my current mouse configuration from my xorg.conf:
#Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier "Configured Mouse"
# Driver "mouse"
# Option "CorePointer"
# Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
# Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
# Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
#EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Running lsof on /dev/input/mice shows Xorg accessing the device twice. Is this correct behaviour?
$sudo lsof /dev/input/mice
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
Xorg 5578 root 14u CHR 13,63 2054 /dev/input/mice
Xorg 5578 root 15u CHR 13,63 2054 /dev/input/mice
Thanks
