6 Note that that error is on the /dev/input/mouseX devicefile. The
7 /dev/input/eventX devicefile gets the evdev driver, as logged. (Both
8 devicefiles match the mouse in question, as they're two separate virtual
9 drivers at the kernel level, exported as two separate devicefiles, but
10 driven by the same physical device, the one in question. I see the same
11 thing here with a system functioning as expected. But people running the
12 gpm text console mouse driver can't turn off the legacy mouseX driver, as
13 gpm has to have it as it's apparently not evdev compatible, yet. If it
14 was, things would be simpler as the mousedev driver could be configured
15 out of the kernel entirely, leaving only evdev.)
