I din't really see any of these are harmful.

The problem apparently lies in X.org input drivers. Hence reassigning
(hopefully to the right package, but I guess the X folks will cope
with that...they're CC'ed: for once, I remembered they ask for this
when reassigning).

It could be good to provide the X.org log file. Probably by booting in
single user mode and then go to /var/log and get Xorg.0.log from
there.
