Bug#466646: upgrading xorg causes option AlwaysCore to deactivate mouse

[Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>]

Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.3+10
Severity: normal

Hello,

I don't know why I had put

       Option          "AlwaysCore"

in my "InputDevice" section for my USB mouse, but when I upgraded xorg
my mouse stopped working and I had to buy a new one before I realized
that for some reason Xorg had taken a dislike to that particular
option. The mouse was working before the upgrade, and then after the
upgrade there was nothing in the log file to indicate that X was
deciding to ignore mouse events. But removing the option made the
mouse work again.

Frederik
