Re: evdev

I'm using it without problems, but not for a touchpad or anything.  I have an MX510 mouse.  It does detect the number of buttons incorrectly, but I went along with it and everything seems to be working properly.  Probably not much help for ya...

Re: evdev

fixed the problem. Added a protocol line to my xorg.conf and it worked.
