According to Peter Hutterer (Xorg developer), it's impossible to tell if a device is a mouse or not. http://who-t.blogspot.de/2009/06/xi2-recipes-part-3.html (see comments)
I guess the best fix in that case is to never hide the mouse settings in gnome-control-center. Or maybe hide only if there is no xinput2 device with "XIValuatorClassInfo" attached to it, i.e. it would be shown if there is a touchpad but no mouse. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132063 Title: Mouse settings missing from Mouse & Touchpad dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1132063/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
