Hello Kai, Kai Wasserbäch <debian@carbon-project.org> (24/10/2010): > Package: xserver-xorg-input-joystick > Version: 1:1.5.0-6 > Severity: important > Tags: experimental > Justification: Makes desktop environment almost unusable. it'd be nice to use reportbug, so that we know more about your system. Running /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg/script 3>/tmp/script.log and attaching its output would help. > I've installed the joystick input driver yesterday alongside evdev > (also from experimental). And that lead to an unusable desktop > environment (KDE in my case). It seems like joystick is reporting > key presses that didn't happen (the Joystick wasn't touched) or > reported multiple events for keys on my keyboard. Out of curiosity, which joystick is it? > E.g. if I'd press the up arrow key in Konsole it would also report > the down arrow, which lead to a constant switch between an empty > line in the shell and the last entry.

It might make sense to compare both output, both with joystick plugged and unplugged. Mraw, KiBi.
