On my ps/2 mouse, x will not start, Here is relevant section from my Xorg.log:
(II) evdev brain: Rescanning devices (1). (EE) PreInit returned NULL for "Configured Mouse" (WW) No core pointer registered (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "evdev brain" (type: evdev brain) (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Generic Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD) (II) evdev brain: Rescanning devices (2). No core pointer Fatal server error: failed to initialize core devices So I would venture to guess making evdev default might not be such a good idea at this point, until the hardware detection can detect this and choose it over the standard 'mouse' driver -- Mouse latency (sweep-selection precision) in Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
