Bug#571604: keyboard broken in X server, mouseemu related?
Hi Julien,
No worries. It took me a bit to realise I had to file my own bug as
I've never done it before. Usually things can be fixed by a good
online search.
Uninstalling mouseemu does allow the keyboard to work in X, but
breaks my mouse emulation.
As soon as I re-install it the keyboard fails again. So I think you're right.
I guess it just remains to figure out where the fault (if any) lies.
Does this require a new bug report, or can I extend this one to
include mouseemu?
Thanks so much already. If only one mouse button was really useful...
Cheers,
David
