If your issue is different and you're still having it, then opening a new report for that was the correct thing to do. That said though, if your problem really is this one: > In short, the intended device detection timeout of 250 milliseconds > was, in fact, programmed as 250 seconds.

Since this patch which fixes it: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=2fbf62b2fb3dcb29551251d09aa695715bb754f4 is newer than the latest xorg upload, it's unlikely to already be included, so rather than close this one, I'm reassigning it to the xorg maintainers.
