Description Tom Horsley 2010-03-26 13:43:52 UTC 
Description of problem:

I do an xinput --list, it prints out a lot of stuff including:

"Kensington      Kensington Expert Mouse"	id=10	[slave  pointer  (2)]

I say: xinput --set-button-map "Kensington      Kensington Expert Mouse" 1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2

It says:

unable to find device Kensington      Kensington Expert Mouse

I replace the string with "10" (the device id) it works perfectly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-apps-7.4-13.fc13.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.3.99-2.20100108.fc13.x86_64

How reproducible:
100% of the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. see above
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Unable to find the device it just told me the name of :-).

Expected results:
Set the dadgum device properties.

Additional info:
The device name, obtained in the exact same fashion, works fine in fedora 12
with xinput.

Just got all updates loaded on new install of fedora 13 beta, and this bug
is now gone. Current rpms are:

xorg-x11-apps-7.4-13.fc13.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.4.0-2.fc13.x86_64

Since that's the same xorg-x11-apps, I guess the problem was really with evdev,
but it is fixed now.
