Could someone check also if that's still an issue in 10.10 or in natty?

Title:
  kensington pocket mouse model #72237 USB 0d62:1000 not working under 8.10

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

Under Ubuntu 8.10, my Kensington pocket mouse, model #72237, does not move the cursor. (The buttons and wheel work, just not X or Y movement.) This is a wireless mouse with a USB dongle, USB ID 0d62:1000. The kernel recognizes the device, and udev creates the appropriate device files. I can stop gdm, cat the event file and see data when I move the mouse.

The same device works fine under Ubuntu 8.04 (tested on two computers) and WinXP (likewise). I have tried three machines with Ubuntu 8.10 (and radically different hardware), and it fails in the same way on all of them -- including one that dual-boots to 8.04 and then works fine. Also, other USB mice work fine on all the 8.10 hosts.

It looks like the X server mistakes it for a keyboard. From my /var/log/Xor.0.log:

(II) config/hal: Adding input device HID 0d62:1000
(**) HID 0d62:1000: always reports core events
(**) HID 0d62:1000: Device: "/dev/input/event2"
(II) HID 0d62:1000: Found x and y relative axes
(II) HID 0d62:1000: Found x and y absolute axes

(II) HID 0d62:1000: Configuring as keyboard
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "HID 0d62:1000" (type: KEYBOARD)

Here is what "xinput list" says about it:

"HID 0d62:1000"	id=5	[XExtensionKeyboard]
	Num_keys is 248
	Min_keycode is 8
	Max_keycode is 255
	Num_buttons is 32
	Num_axes is 2
	Mode is Relative
	Motion_buffer is 256
	Axis 0 :
		Min_value is -1
		Max_value is -1
		Resolution is 1
	Axis 1 :
		Min_value is -1
		Max_value is -1
		Resolution is 1

I'd be happy to provide any additional data that would help, or make any suggested edits to my xorg.conf.
