25 Sorry to persist, but the drivers usually have "xf86-*" in their name not
26 "x11" or "xorg", e.g. xf86-input-evdev.
27
28 (The category of those packages is of course x11-drivers/ ; i.e. x11-
29 drivers/xf86-input-evdev)
30
31 Other than that could it be a udev issue and some permanent rule for a USB
32 type of mouse, which you should remove and restart udev? Don't know, just an
33 idea.
