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.

>From what I remember, core events changed a bit recently (among many
input changes in Xserver 1.4). But this is still something that should
not be used without a very good reason (maybe that's why it's not
documented) so we can't do much about all this apart from saying
something like "you deserved the problems" :)
