Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2
Severity: normal
It's not possible to use the new evdev driver for mouse devices
which are not always connected because X dies when the specified
device doesn't exist.
E.g. on a laptop which has a synaptics touchpad and an external
mouse configured, X dies after the following message when
the external mouse is not connected:
,
| (**) Option CorePointer
| (**) Synaptics Touchpad: Core Pointer
| (**) Option SendCoreEvents true
| (**) IntelliMouse Optical: always reports core events
| (**) IntelliMouse Optical: Device: /dev/input/intellimouse
| (EE) Unable to open evdev device /dev/input/intellimouse.
| (EE) PreInit failed for input device IntelliMouse Optical
| (II) UnloadModule: evdev
| (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device Synaptics Touchpad (type: MOUSE)
