Description:

As of the version currently in Testing, input from input devices specified as "AlwaysCore" in xorg.conf will no longer be registered. If, for instance, a laptop user has an optical mouse as "CorePointer" and the touchpad as "AlwaysCore", the touchpad will stop working.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install xorg from Testing.
2. Configure xorg.conf for two pointer devices (e.g. a USB and a PS/2 mouse), making one "CorePointer" and the other "AlwaysCore" in the ServerLayout section. Input from whichever one is "AlwaysCore" will not be processed.
