I have all of those. Log is attached. I'm not sure how this
Mac (my
current access to the problem machine) will show it.
Ok, I compared to my log and there are things just missing from
yours :/
I assume hal is running on that machine. Also check the output of
'lshal' and look for the devices that have 'input.x11_driver'
option set
(maybe post the relevant entries here), because only such devices
are
eligible for X11 input devices. Maybe hal just doesn't recognize
your
stuff.
There are no input.x11 devices in the hal database! I clearly
totally
missed some basic changes in Xorg. I have been looking for
documentation on
this change and haven't found enough.
That seems really weird. I am pretty sure that if you have a fairly
current and correctly installed hal, you should have those entries,
whether or not X is making correct use of them.
I have basic PS2 keyboard and mouse. Is that what evdev is for?
You say you are running "squeeze/sid (mostly sid)." Is your
hal the sid version?
AFAIK everything relevant here is the latest from sid. There are no
relevant upgradable packages as determined by aptitude. Over the
last few days I had downgraded several xorg packages but I reupgraded
them all yesterday before this thread.
Thanks,
Paul
