Description David Ronis 2010-12-05 13:04:13 UTC 
I'm following xorg git/master and updated several components last night (in particular xserver, xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-ati).   I'm on an older HP laptop and used an old-style xorg.conf file.
This contains lines like:

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "X.org Configured"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
	InputDevice    "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
	Driver      "evdev"
	Option	    "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
	Option	    "CoreKeyboard
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Mouse0"
	Driver	    "synaptics"
	Option 	    "Protocol" "auto"
	Option	    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
	Option	    "LeftEdge" "120"
	Option	    "RightEdge" "830"
	Option	    "TopEdge" "120"
	Option	    "BottomEdge" "650"
	Option	    "FingerLow" "14"
	Option	    "FingerHigh" "15"
	Option	    "MaxTapTime" "180"
	Option	    "MaxTapMove" "110"
	Option	    "EmulateMidButtonTime" "75"
	Option	    "VertScrollDelta" "20"
	Option	    "HorizScrollDelta" "20"
	Option	    "MinSpeed" "0.3"
	Option	    "MaxSpeed" "0.75"
	Option	    "AccelFactor" "0.015"
	Option	    "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "200"
	Option	    "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "200"
	Option	    "UpDownScrolling" "1"
	Option	    "CircularScrolling" "1"
	Option	    "CircScrollDelta" "0.1"
	Option	    "CircScrollTrigger" "2"
	Option	    "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Mouse1"
	Driver      "evdev"
	Option	    "Device" "/dev/input/event8"
	Option	    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

When I start x (via startx).  I switch to video mode, the touchpad works, but neither the keyboard or usb mouse work.

The event numbers are correct.

The log shows:

[  5737.485] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so
[  5737.485] (**) Option "SendCoreEvents"
[  5737.485] (**) Mouse1: always reports core events
[  5737.485] (EE) Mouse1: No device specified.

Here's the log.  From what I can tell, processing of the config file ends with the error.  If I put the keyboard ahead of mouse1 it will stop there.
