The new dmesg(1) removes this space at the begin of the message, but always and everywhere. The patch below fixes this issue (unfortunately, kernel.org is still down, so I can't push it..). > -generic-usb 0003:045E:001E.0001: input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft IntelliMouse® Explorer] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1/input0 > +input: Microsoft Microsoft IntelliMouse\xffffffc2\xffffffae Explorer as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/input/input1 Do you have enabled widechar support? (See HAVE_WIDECHAR in config.h). The new dmesg(1) does not blindly print all unprintable chars (iswprint(), isprint()).
