Package: xserver-xorg-input-evdev Version: 1:1.0.0.5-2 Severity: important Tags: fixed-upstream
With my Logitech MX510 USB mouse having more than 7 buttons, I am forced to use the evdev driver, which still seems to be horribly broken in Xorg 7.0. The most annoying bug is certainly missing hotplugging support. Unplugging and replugging the mouse renders it frozen, requiring a hard X server reset. Consequently, this also makes resuming from Suspend-To-RAM with a working pointer impossible. Could you please package the newest upstream version (v1.1.2) of xf86-input-evdev? It solved all the issues I had before... * Hotplugging works perfectly, as well as Suspend-to-RAM. * The number of buttons is autodetected. Wheel and side buttons are mapped automagically to buttons 4+5 and 6+7, respectively. I do not even have to use Xmodmap anymore. With the old driver, I had to supply 32(!) button mappings to Xmodmap, additionally fixing a weird middle mouse button order screw-up. (pointer = 1 3 2 4 5 8 9 6 7 10 11 12 13 ...) * As a further convenience, "Name" and "Phys" options are supported again. BTW, thank you very much for packaging modular Xorg. Your hard work made compiling and installing the upstream evdev driver on my local machine a matter of minutes (instead of hours). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (400, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-maia Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages xserver-xorg-input-evdev depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii xserver-xorg-core 1:1.0.2-7 X.Org X server -- core server xserver-xorg-input-evdev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
