Yes, installer dies with proper error message, there is no problem.

Here is problem, if specified evdev device not exist or it's not mouse, xorg
crashes with signal 11. I'll fill bugreport about this at x.org.

Thanks for help.


Anyway, /dev/input/event* are not created automatically (by udev?), I have to
turn on evdev module with modprobe, then everything is ok. I have same problem
with /dev/misc/rtc. How to solve this?

I went to my first computer conference at the New York Hilton about 20
years ago.  When somebody there predicted the market for microprocessors
would eventually be in the millions, someone else said, "Where are they
all going to go? It's not like you need a computer in every doorknob!"

Years later, I went back to the same hotel.  I noticed the room keys had
been replaced by electronic cards you slide into slots in the doors.

There was a computer in every doorknob.
