[Bug 796325] [NEW] USB HD used as pointer input dev

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

Natty, 2.6.38-8-generic-pae #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 05:17:09 UTC 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
udev 167-0ubuntu3
xserver-xorg-input-evdev  1:2.6.0-1ubuntu12

After starting system, with USB HD plugged in, then I log in and type startx.
X-windows starts, but mouse (trackball) is not working.

Note that GPM mouse tracking works fine with or without the USB HD.

>From Xorg.log (working case, without HD plugged in):
