command lines and their output for my distro, and various device profiling and
some logs
I'm getting the below "PreInit returned 2" error when I plugin my keyboard
(showing up as "Gaming Keyboard". FWIW I don't think there's anything special
about the keyboard; this is the device: <a href="http://amzn.com/B00T1P6F1S">http://amzn.com/B00T1P6F1S</a>):
May 1 18:01:39 carboy /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[1504]: (II) failed to
create input device '/dev/input/event7'.
May 1 18:01:39 carboy /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[1504]: (EE) libinput:
Gaming Keyboard: Failed to create a device for /dev/input/event7
May 1 18:01:39 carboy /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[1504]: (EE) PreInit
returned 2 for "Gaming Keyboard"
May 1 18:01:39 carboy /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[1504]: (II) UnloadModule:
"libinput"
(a more full /var/log/syslog output is attached, from time I plugged in the
keyboard)
:: Debugging/system specific info:
My output from `xinput list` `lsusb` before and after plugging in (with a `tail
-f /var/log/syslog` in between):
attached as "SystemInfo_kernel_distro_xinput-list_lsusb_logs.txt"

Let me know how I can further debug this. I take it from these
<a href="https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/reporting_bugs.html">https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/reporting_bugs.html</a>
instructions that `evemu` doesn't apply here, since I don't have an event node
that hangs around to begin with.</pre>
