LinuxQuestions.org - FC5: evdev mouse = Gnome-Settings-Daemon crash! pls help.

I'm getting the Gnome-settings-daemon crash message (non-sensical complaint about 'too many restarts') upon X startup as soon as I move my mouse (Logitech MX1000) over to the evdev driver. While the mouse works, this crash hoses Xmodmap, Power Management, etc. Moving back from evdev fixes the crash.

From:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

        Identifier  "Mouse0"

        Driver      "mouse"

        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"

        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"

EndSection

To:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

      Identifier  "Mouse0"

      Driver      "evdev"

      Option      "Device" "/dev/input/event4"

      Option      "Name" "Logitech MX1000"

EndSection

Any thoughts? Has anyone gotten evdev to work for their mouse? Any help is much appreciated

cheers.
