Description:

Actually I'm not quite sure whether there is something that can be done abou this. However I don't feel comfortable when my logfiles mention errors all the time, I start up the X server. I've re-installed my whole system, including the latest xorg packages from the testing repository. So far I've installed xorg-server as well as the latest nvidia driver). This works fine so far. Whenever I start up the X server using "startx" (without any custom config file), I get the following entries in my Xorg.0.log:

[ 364.848] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Lid Switch (/dev/input/event4)
[ 364.848] (EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)

[ 364.869] (II) config/udev: Adding input device HDA Digital PCBeep (/dev/input/event13)
[ 364.869] (EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)
[ 364.870] (II) config/udev: Adding input device HDA Intel Mic at Ext Left Jack (/dev/input/event14)
[ 364.870] (EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)
[ 364.871] (II) config/udev: Adding input device HDA Intel HP Out at Ext Left Jack (/dev/input/event15)
[ 364.871] (EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)

[ 364.901] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Broadcom Corp (/dev/input/mouse1)
[ 364.901] (EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)

[ 364.958] (II) config/udev: Adding input device PS/2 Mouse (/dev/input/mouse2)
[ 364.958] (EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)

[ 364.974] (II) config/udev: Adding input device AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint (/dev/input/mouse3)
[ 364.974] (EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)
[ 364.975] (II) config/udev: Adding input device PC Speaker (/dev/input/event8)
[ 364.975] (EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)

[ 364.991] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Macintosh mouse button emulation (/dev/input/mouse0)
[ 364.991] (EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)

So, it seems that the xorg tries to load each driver for each of my input devices, and fails from time to time. Is there anything I can do about it? Is there a way of excluding specific devices? I don't want to turn off hot plugging in general! Is there anything we can do about it in general?

Additional info:
* xorg-server: 1.8.0.901-1, xf86-input-evdev: 2.4.0-1
* no custom config files so far

Steps to reproduce:
* Install latest xorg packages
* Look at your Xorg.0.log file, there should be some errors mentioned
This task depends upon

These errors are non-critical, udev adds devices for everything that it detects on your system, some of these devices are not real input devices and are ignored.
