Description Peter Hutterer 2009-09-22 21:18:37 UTC 
Testcase:
Option "SendCoreEvents" "off" in the xorg.conf, restart server, start xev.
The mouse pointer doesn't move, but xev still registers core events.

Dont send core events if the device hasn't been configured for it.

This patch fixes the issue. Core events are only sent for devices that are configured as such (the default anyway). For all others, the master device isn't updated and events aren't routed through the master.
