I use a MEDL trackball which uses the old mousesystems protocol.
HAL detection will not work as there is nothing to detect. I followed the
advice of the above post with no success, and another which reproduced the
entire relevant mouse section from my old xorg.conf. To no avail, the
parameters I had supplied were appended to the emulated "Macintosh button
mouse" device.
A solution for the myriad of upgrading users out here is to re-enable
'Mouse' driver sections in xorg.conf. This is disabled in the HAL driven
xorg editions since 9.04. One must add the line:-
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
in the ServerLayout section.
This still allows the auto detection of HAL devices but allows the inclusion of
manual entries in xorg.conf.
Many users with serial mice have had to resort to editing xorg.conf and this
restores that possibility.
