this is still an issue in edgy. as heiko mentioned, there is no generic device for evdev (or at least i'm not aware of such thing). so if you set up your mouse with evdev you have to specify something like
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" but the problem is, your pointing device isn't always 'event1' if you're hotplugging your devices. hth -- evdev is not working when you hotplug devices https://launchpad.net/bugs/26825 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
