Created attachment 854973 [details] /var/log/Xorg.0.log showing evdev resets Description of problem: I apply several xinput settings to make my trackball work the way I want it to work and every morning I find it has been reset and I have to re-run my script to apply the settings again. Whatever is doing this may also be creating the nologin file from bug 1043212. It may also be related to bug 1048003 where plugging in a new device causes everything on the same hub to be reset. My system is up 24/7 with all screen savers and power management disabled. I'm logged in all the time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-208-9.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Happens every night Steps to Reproduce: 1. use xinput to apply setting to mouse 2. find the settings have disappeared over night 3. Actual results: xinput settings disappear Expected results: as long as I stay logged in and don't unplug the mouse, the settings should stay active. Additional info: I'll attach the X log that shows evdev resets long after X started.

Not sure what I am supposed to do with this. systemd does not touch input devices. Reassigning.
Actually, it does touch input devices. Like seemingly everything else in linux, udev has been assimilated by the systemd fungus and the same thing that screws up everything else on my system also re-initializes udev, so all the devices look like they were plugged in again, which resets all the evdev settings back to ground zero.
Tom: your choice of words won't help the discussion along, so please stay respectful and polite. Lennart: have a look at the log. something resets at time 35286.401, because I haven't seen the "Video Bus" device and other virtual devices disappear before. Is this a side-effect of some power feature in the kernel or is this udev re-initialising something?
I'm almost completely convinced this is from the same fundamental cause as bug 1043212, just a different symptom cropping up.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
