That you are using a USB mouse and that /dev/input/mice is you device for it.

It is not technically a bug. If you were to read the description on that particular page... it does mention some things.















Ironically, it is a matter of figuring out which is left from the list, eliminating Serial, PS/2, GPM-data, IBM-busmouse and Sun Mouse (kybd connected mouse):
  • /dev/psaux
  • /dev/ttyS0
  • /dev/ttyS1
  • /dev/ttyS2
  • /dev/ttyS3
  • /dev/input/mice
  • /dev/atibm
  • /dev/sunmouse
  • /dev/gpmdata
This leaves you with /dev/input/mice only. Of course we all *knew* that.
