Bug#623961: xserver-xorg-input-evdev: X11 "mouse keys" / "plot mode" completely unusable post-Lenny, on 3 machines



Hi,

why did you strip the bug script output?

I'd suggest tracking it down on your sid machine, so that we can get
upstream feedback with failures reported against latest versions. See
the proposed backports policy[1], you could then enjoy a backported
fixed version at some point on your squeeze machine.

 1. http://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/reference/squeeze-backports.html

So please follow up with the bug script output as documented on [2],
and feel free to file a bug upstream directly [3], possibly Cc-ing me
on submission so that I can keep an eye on it, and mark that bug as
forwarded there.

I think evdev will do until further notice.
