I use debian sid, this should result in the latest released evdev driver.

version 1:1.2.0-1
xserver-xorg-input-evdev

I am willing to sent the device to a developer if he agrees to get it working.

looking at the evtest output, there's a number of buttons that aren't parsed properly (or known to the kernel).

the second problem is that evdev 1.2 does a bit of automatic parsing, and - like in your case - it sometimes fails. It would be much easier to debug if you get the git version of evdev which is severely stripped down and slightly less prone to errors like this. as it is right now, I can't even fathom what exactly causes the crash.

I will test everything again with the latest git and report back, thank you for the message

I bought the same device which has some unique features:

 - uses bluetooth (not a seperate dongle)
 - includes laser pointer
 - fits into a pcmcia slot (always with you)
 - very affordable (15 Euro on Ebay)

Since Jelle offered to send it to someone who can debug it, maybe it helps to show what it looks like:

I am willing to send one to a developer as well if someone can get the buttons and mouse functionality to work.

The status just changed to: NEEDINFO

What info is wanted:

I now use the newest release of evdev:
xserver-xorg-input-evdev_1.2.0-1_i386.deb

I still got a non working device :-S

Thanks in advance,

please try xf86-input-evdev-1.99.4 which has been released recently.

ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/driver/xf86-input-evdev-1.99.4.tar.bz2

this codebase is much more straightforward and easier to debug if problems
occur.

As Peter said, right here:

1.99.4 is not 1.2.0 ...

Ok some updates; I am now using version 1.2.0 of evdev and run some new test, i still got the same bugs, i made new logs of them and attached them.

xserver-xorg-input-evdev_1.2.0-1_i386.deb

I hope somebody can fix the problem?

you were running evdev 1.2 before already, we'd need you to run evdev 2.0
though to debug this issue.

evdev 1.2 is essentially orphaned and I'd be surprised if there will be any
patches to it in the future.

My excuse, i overlooked the version, wanted to be the right one to much I guess. I will wait until the maintainer of debian sid decide to upgrade to evdev 2.0 or somebody else to provide a deb package.

any updates? I guess by now sid uses evdev 2.0?

I did some new testings, xorg does not crashes any more but tells me it don't now how to use the device. So the device does not work yet. Please see the below attachement.

All the keycodes your device report are above 255 (for some myserious
reason, they even _start_ at 256), which X can't deal with right now due
to a protocol limitation.

WONTFIX. We can't do anthing until we support keycodes > 255
