Do you have a log from 1.7.6.901? Or did you upgrade the driver but
neglected to restart X?
I don't shut down X without specific reason; it's too disruptive to the
things I normally keep running. In this case, I had started X, then
later run apt-get update and noticed updated package versions
(including, yes, updated xserver-xorg-core), then installed those
versions, then did a suspend-to-disk/resume cycle, then noticed the
problem.
I can kind of see how using an updated xorg sub-package with an older
running xorg could lead to problems in some cases (though in that case
I'd think there should be a prominent "please restart your X server as
soon as possible!" warning at the time of the upgrade), but I don't see
how it could lead to this kind of misdetection, unless for some strange
reason the code for detecting which type of device should be handled by
what driver or sub-driver is actually split between the appropriate
xserver-xorg-input* package and the core.
