Are you sure it hasn't been manually modified?
I've just checked from my backup files and need to say that I was not able to generate an xorg.conf by using dexconf that contains this extra mouse device. So probably my local configuration really was modified manually. I guess I found a workaround somewhere in the lazyweb suggesting the additional mouse device. Just to make sure: How can I definitely confirm that my backed-up xorg.conf has been manually modified? Please let me know if I can check/try/do something else with my backed-up files/configuration. > Also, I'm pretty sure every mouse device, unless otherwise grabbed, > *does* produce events on /dev/input/mice on all 2.6 kernels. > > In any case, I'll gladly accept patches (bonus points if they're > tested). Do you have an idea how to tackle this? Would it be sufficient to alert the user if he has ended up with two mouse devices in a manually changed xorg.conf? I have no idea what fits best here...
