intersetingly, I get more and more similar messages, as I use different pointers, like an external USB mouse. after having plugged in the mouse, I get a similar ioctl error message related to the mouse as well - even if its not actually plugged in.
interestingly, this issue is only coming up when gdm is being started. I can start X by issuing startx from the command line just fine... ** Package changed: virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu) => xorg (Ubuntu) -- ioctl EVIOCGNAME failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device on 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521436 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
