I just encountered a weird situation where a script run durnig startup broke login just because it could not find the correct name of the pointer device.
Can everybody please post the output of:
Code: Select all
grep "Name=" /proc/bus/input/devices
Thanks

@sean on win8 are you using a wireless mouse....Thanks
EDIT
On another distro, I get more info and it shows that
"power button" is a kbd input meaning keyboard
The stick below shows as a mouse event as does Alps
"hotkeys" are kbd
Very old Dell laptop rarely used

Wireless mouse. That may throw a spanner in the works. I'd best find out why a script in /etc/profile.d breaks login just because it exits. Thanks guys.
Please keep them coming.

Yep, system's 2 & 3 are old Dell laptops, 3 being a newer Inspiron, the former a Latitude.
I suppose also you'd be looking for any wireless input devices:
keyboards
microphones
combination-microphone/headphones
how about smartphones?

I think pointing devices only refer to mouse or synaptics or touchpad thingees

Thanks guys that has given me enough to work on. I have a different way to implement the idea that won't break login. We can now have a config file for mouse where you can specify your preferred settings before booting Porteus.
