If you are using evdev (and you are) you should delete (or comment out) anything to do with Input from your xorg.conf, e.g. these sections: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection and also remove/comment these lines from ServerLayout: InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" The evdev driver is intended to replace *all* of that stuff. BTW, I remember having a section like this in my xorg.conf, but I don't have it any longer and I don't think you really need it: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Logitech MX1000" Driver "evdev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" EndSection I think that the evdev driver is loaded by default now, so you don't need to mention it in xorg.conf. Caveat: I needed to add /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-logitech.fdi to replace two lines in my xorg.conf because my mouse has four buttons and no wheel. You obviously don't have that problem, so I think your mouse should Just Work without any extra fdi files.
