Confused

[Ben Gamari]

Hey all,

Recently I've been finding that despite Xorg.log reporting several 
devices being added to my server, `xinput list` only reports two:

> $ xinput list
> "Virtual core pointer"	id=0	[XPointer]
> ...
> unknown class
> "Virtual core keyboard"	id=1	[XKeyboard]
> ...
> unknown class

This strikes me as quite odd considering I should at least have both a 
synaptics and evdev mouse, as well as an evdev keyboard. In fact, Xorg
even claims adding each of the devices (and some; not this don't occur 
sucessively to one another in xorg.log),

> (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" (type: TOUCHPAD)
> (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "PS/2 Mouse" (type: MOUSE)
> (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD)
> (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Macintosh mouse button emulation" (type: MOUSE)
> (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Sleep Button (CM)" (type: KEYBOARD)
> (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Power Button (CM)" (type: KEYBOARD)
> (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Video Bus" (type: KEYBOARD)
> (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Video Bus" (type: KEYBOARD)

Why would xinput put to report all of these devices? My xorg.conf and 
xorg.log of a fresh server are attached. (I just realized I still have a 
keyboard definition in xorg.conf; better remove that)

Thanks,

- Ben
