Hi,

I have a problem with xorg not detecting properly my mouse.
I am running F11 on a ps3 and the mouse is a cordless keyboard+mouse connected via USB.

If I boo tin runlevel 3, then (in text mode) I can see the cursor moving when I move the mouse (so
to say it works).
In F10 everything worked properly.
If I plug in a separate USB mouse, it works.

Now when xorg boots I can see the following error

(EE) Logitech USB Receiver Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Logitech USB Receiver"
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)

These are the available input on the system

[andrea at ps3 ~]$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices

I think the last one is the correct one (the 2nd being the beyboard).
How can I improve the error message? "Logitech USB Receiver" is the name of both the keyboard and
mouse. Maybe xorg default mixes them?
How can I tweak the default xorg.conf?
