Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.3+15

An upgrade from etch to lenny made my T23 X11 windows nearly
unuseable due to what appeared to be multiple bugs in multiple
applications. With advice from Josselin I found it was a set up
of two pointer devices in xorg.conf. It had worked unchanged
since summer of 2006 under Etch but caused the noted multifarious
failures on an upgrade to lenny.

The original xorg.conf was:

I would suggest this situation be detected and at least flagged
to the user during upgrade. Since the configuration files in
question may have been working with no noticeble problems for
many years, it will make it difficult even for the knowledgeable
to realize that is the problem and as for the novice, they have
not got a chance.

I am using Debian Lenny, linux-image-2.6.26-3
and libc6 2.7-13

Marking this as fixed in sid, because we ignore mouse devices from
xorg.conf now.
