In my opinion, the stick should be disabled. The Windows control panel for Synaptic touchpads has this option; when selected, the stick no longer moves the mouse. I expect the same behaviour. It seems that the stick gets its own /dev/input/mouse* device when the machine is booting. Perhaps when the display manager starts and xorg.conf is parsed, the device should be "unplugged".
Can I "unplug" a USB device virtually? as for the bug, I see no evidence that the stick is being affected at all by the use of "GuestMouseOff" true. regards, Tim On Sun, 2007-11-18 at 12:57 +0900, Mattia Dongili wrote: > On Sat, Nov 17, 2007 at 10:58:26PM +0100, Tim Richardson wrote: > > Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics > > Version: 0.14.7~git20070706-1 > > Severity: normal > > > > Option "GuestMouseOff" "true" appears to not work for me.
