Just a quick note - the evdev git bump that accompanied this change happened to catch an unfortunate upstream commit which more or less broke the driver; clicks work, but you can't move the mouse any more. So I put through a new xorg-x11-drv-evdev build which bumped it again to catch the fix from upstream. If you wind up with: xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.6.99-2.20111109git745fca03a.fc17 and your cursor doesn't move, don't panic, just grab: xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.6.99-3.20111110gita9cdb6590.fc17 and all should be well. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
