The trackball is not multi-touch. I have a custom rule for these devices
under /etc/udev/rules.d/ which perhaps is no longer used?

I don't think the above (X options in udev rules) can ever have worked.
They did for a while, but I suspect a long time ago.
But now I have the equivalent in xorg.conf as in the original bug
report. This has been working for several years, but after a recent
upgrade, is now failing with the EVIOCGBIT. Any help with that?
I guess that I should remove the udev rule just in case: I think that I
had just forgotten about it. I will remove that rule and report back
just in case it was somehow triggering the problem.
Thanks for the reply and any further help,
ael

I realize that this may perhaps be a problem with udev.
