In my previous comment, please s/less mouse-like/more mouse-like/ .
I have managed to make the lshal output look convincingly mouse-like by
creating a file /etc/hal/fdi/information/00kensington.fdi which removes
'input.keys' and 'button' from the 'info.capabilities' like, thus:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" string="HID 0d62:1000">
<remove key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">input.keys</remove>
<remove key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">button</remove>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
However, evdev still thinks it's a keyboard; the Xorg.0.log output
remains as per the original report.
I'm still not able to decide with confidence if this is a problem in
HAL, evdev or even the kernel HID driver (from which I assume HAL gets
device capability info by way of sysfs). Apologies to the evdev team if
I've reported this to the wrong place.
