What files/information should I supply to help with debugging?

Could you attach the full Xorg.0.log along with your xorg.conf?

Thanks

Comment 5 Krzysztof Pawlik (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-09-09 22:38:12 UTC
Attached xorg.conf and log files for both versions of xf86-input-synaptics.
Comment 6 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-09-10 05:18:58 UTC
You're using both udev and a static device list. You *must* pick between the 2. Either disable udev completely, or use it fully (which I strongly recommend). And you should also stop using xf86-input-{mouse,keyboard} and move to xf86-input-evdev.

I suggest reading the various Xorg upgrade guides[1] for pointers on how to properly migrate.

If you don't want to migrate, read this bit on how to disable HAL/udev [2].

Thanks
