I'm currently having a problem with the mouse hanging and accuracy in flash games using the nvidia 180 drivers on AMD64 stable with GCC-4.3.2 and I want to force X to use the old mouse driver instead of the Evdev module. This is for testing purposes as I need to identify if the problem is evdev or the Nvidia drivers so any information on how to disable evdev would be appreciated.

Does the fix in section 5 of http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/xorg-server-1.5-upgrade-guide.xml fix the problem?

Sorry but that's a default option in Xorg.conf and has been for at least the last 2 years under xorgconfig - Text only config script.

Thanks for directing me back to the 1.5 upgrade manual since it's at the end of Section 2 - how to disable Hal and force old keyboard/mouse operation

Wont be able to test until an ftp mirror operation completes (ETA of 4/25/2009 - slow archive server)
