I have a very similar problem. I was running karmic on 2.6.31 almost fine (evdev was as usual completely not working so I used kbd) yesterday it was working and now the xserver doesn't start with: (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)
it's xorg-server 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4 I tried xorg-edgers ppa, still not working, I tried evdev back and forth, no luck either -- Touchpad and mouse buttons not working after upgrade from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442441 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
