tags 347681 etch found 347681 1:7.1.0-9 thanks This bug really needs to be fixed in Etch. A user shouldn't have to make custom udev rules to force his input devices to be assigned the same dev name on every boot, or else risk having them change every boot, resulting in X loading with no cursor control. The other alternative is to have evdev scan for the device, which should work (and according to this log file, does work!), but then crashes X for no apparent reason!
This is even tagged as fixed-upstream. Couldn't it be fixed in Etch? The bug's been filed for a year now.

#Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" # 2006-02-26: Suddenly it
changed from event3 to event2, causing X to fail to load, and giving a glibc
memory corruption error on tty7 # 2006-03-06: Now it's changed again! I'm
going to try /dev/input/mouse0 and see if that works with evdev # Nope, evdev
requires an eventx device. # Now it seems to be /dev/input/event1 !
# 2006-12-29: Tried commenting out the 'Option "Device"' line which,
according to the log file, caused evdev to scan and detect the mouse, but
resulted in X crashing!
