That's exactly one of the examples I mentioned in my original email: _why_ is this line there? :) If fixes the problem but that doesn't tell the whole story. You have a conf that implicitly says "load the mouse driver" and then fails because you didn't have the mouse driver installed. Which is fair enough, the question here is why is that setting there in the first place? Is the goal to not add any devices, or is this just an accidental leftover? the git history of that file doesn't really provide any hints here, unfortunately.
