Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: udev

Trying to configure my Logitech Marble for Lucid (amd64) as per
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Logitech_Marblemouse_USB
using udev rules. The rule is run, but fails with error

[13838.180329] usb 7-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
[13838.359037] usb 7-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Mouse [Logitech USB Trackball] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-1/input0
upstart-udev-bridge[423]        Env must be KEY=VALUE pairs

Now if I comment all x11_options like
#ENV{x11_options.Buttons}="9"
the "Env must be KEY=VALUE pairs" error is gone when plugging in the Logitech 
mouse.
So I tried to instead removed the dot (.) in the notation above

ENV{x11_optionsButtons}="9"
and then it works, meaning it runs the rule without the KEY=VALUE error. But of 
course the mouse configuration does not take place.

In response to forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1458123
it was pointed to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=576811
saying that this wont be fixed. Instead use xorg.conf, but that is not 
available by default in Lucid, nor is Hal, and now this.

I'm not sure of this just needs a documentation update or a udev fix.
But removing Hal, xorg.conf, and the udev rules does not work puts the
user in limbo.
