Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.7.6-2
Severity: important
Hi
If /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ is in use, it does not augment the package
preconfiguration in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/, but totally ignores the
contents of /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ - thereby breaking essential
preconfiguration like 05-evdev.conf and killing keyboard/ mouse support
in X.
My system does not use a /etc/X11/xorg.conf anymore, but I nevertheless
need to configure my dual-screen setup for radeon through the attached
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-device.conf. With today's upload of
xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.3.2-5, evdev starts to depend on the (new)
preconfiguration in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/05-evdev.conf, but due to
the presence of my custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-device.conf,
xserver-xorg-core never attempts to load 05-evdev.conf (or 10-vmmouse.conf
for that matter).
$ LANG=C ls -al /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/:
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 14 12:30 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Apr 9 14:44 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 354 Apr 9 14:48 20-device.conf
/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/:
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 14 12:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Apr 11 03:07 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 946 Apr 13 18:02 05-evdev.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 102 Apr 13 18:16 10-vmmouse.conf
To temporarily unbreak my system, I've added a symlink for 05-evdev.conf in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, but this would be very fragile in regards to future
evdev updates and/ or other packages switching to distribution defaults stored
in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/
ln -s ../../../usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/05-evdev.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/05-evdev.conf

Post scriptum: As an unrelated side note, I'd suggest adding
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*.conf and
ls -al /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ to the bug templates.
