Yes, under X. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
No xorg.conf. I just have /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf (see |
| 27 |
below). |

Yes, xf86-input-evdev is installed. |

... I just went to re-confirm that tail -f /var/log/messages shows |
| 35 |
nothing when the mouse is inserted/removed (I did that test yesterday) |
| 36 |
and all-of-a-sudden IT WORKS! The mouse is fine. I looked at what was |
| 37 |
emerged today (~amd64) and don't see anything relevant. Thanks for your |
| 38 |
interest. |

I believe this is the default, but here is 10-evdev.conf |
| 44 |
|

# |

# Catch-all evdev loader for udev-based systems |
| 47 |
# We don't simply match on any device since that also adds accelerometers |
| 48 |
# and other devices that we don't really want to use. The list below |
| 49 |
# matches everything but joysticks. |
