I wanted to get the testing as my main repository, with unstable since there are a few packages I use in it, such as vlc etc ... I hate having to compile my own as it usually involves installing alot of extra packages just to make it, and vlc requires ALOT of packages.
I was able to get the nvidia drivers working, after about 24 hours of reading and testing, luckily without any reinstall of any kind
Everything else is working as it should, includeing the nvidia drivers, it is just the evdev which is not. I believe the package name is "xserver-xorg-input-evdev".
It appears that there is an issue with evdev, which means that I cannot use it to configure my mouse. I am running lenny/sid. Current sources.list
Code:
deb http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb-src http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/ sid main non-free contrib
deb-src http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/ sid main non-free contrib
My apt.conf:
Code:
// Pre-configure all packages with debconf before they are installed.
// If you don't like it, comment it out.
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true";};
APT::Cache-Limit "16777216";
APT::Default-Release "testing";
My xorg.conf
Code:

Please let me know if you need anymore info or if you have a solution, I would appreciate it. It's not urgent as with the above xorg.conf mouse works fine, however if I switch to evdev, it does not work anymore.
