(Sorry if this came through already, gmail's draft saving via IMAP and a spotty wlan really mix up threads and messages in gmail's view.) During my short-lived and generally moderately clueless experimentation with the latest xorg-server, evdev and a hal-enabled PS/2 keyboard and a hal-enabled Logitech USB mouse, the mouse was not the problem, but the keyboard layouts were the killer which prompted me to disable hal altogether (ref: earlier "CTRL+C kills korganizer"-thread). Mouse worked ok with following changes to my earlier xorg.conf and I had no need for plugging cables in and out, it Just Worked: Section "Module": Load "evdev" Section "ServerFlags": Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" Section for the mouse InputDevice needed to change driver to evdev. Section "ServerLayout": Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" Option "AutoEnableDevices" "true" (But I ended up commenting them out and the mouse still worked ok, so not sure if you need to toggle the defaults values for these at all.) Those changes gave me a functional USB mouse pointer with xorg-server 1.5.x, but my keyboard problems went away only after I disabled acpid and hal, and re-emerged xorg-server with USE="-hal". Wasted nearly three good weeks' nights and weekends there with kde 4.2.0 upgrade, so you can understand my above-average grumpiness about hal -- just disable it unless you really really need it. :( -- Arttu V.
