Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.0.18 Followup-For: Bug #363248 I was encountering this same problem, so I dug into /usr/bin/dexconf a bit. I found this really strange section (starting from line 271):
### MOUSE / INPUTDEVICE DO_EMULATE3BUTTONS= fetch xserver-$SERVER/config/inputdevice/mouse/port MOUSE_PORT="$RET" fetch xserver-$SERVER/config/inputdevice/mouse/protocol MOUSE_PROTOCOL="$RET" fetch xserver-$SERVER/config/inputdevice/mouse/emulate3buttons if [ "$RET" = "true" ]; then DO_EMULATE3BUTTONS=true fi exec 4>"$DEXCONFTMPDIR/InputDeviceMouse" cat >&4 <<SECTION Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" SECTION if [ -n "$DO_EMULATE3BUTTONS" ]; then printf "\tOption\t\t\"Emulate3Buttons\"\t\"true\"\n" >&4 fi printf "EndSection\n" >&4 It seems as if dexconf is simply ignoring the values for Option "Device" and Option "Protocol" that it's pulling from debconf.
