Comment 9 for bug 274203

I think it has to do something with xorg.conf. In the new version of Xorg, the file isn't read anymore. Something was told about it in the new version.

Now, Hardy had this problem too, when you modified xorg.conf for joystick-input. By default the joystick is enabled, but for using it as input-device for the cursor.

If all devices are detected without xorg.conf, than the system tries to use the joystick for the cursor. That's new in xorg!

In Hardy, the problem was solved recompiling xserver-input-joystick from the source code. I tried this too, but it didn't work!

Maybe it's a glue!
