No success.

    Try removing that.  /dev/input/mice already functions as a multiplexer
    for all mouse events in the system.

I tried, as a different user, starting from a different virtual console
and starting X (with an Enlightenment window manager, as I normally
have).  In the cases where X started, I pasted doubles from `emacs -Q
-D' to an xterm as before.

I could start X when I had everything in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
except that I changed /dev/psaux to /dev/input/mice.  That section
looked like this:

        Identifier      "Generic Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
#       Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"

Similarly, I could start X when I commented out most parts of that
section but left the Driver as "mouse".

        Identifier      "Generic Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
#       Option          "CorePointer"
#       Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
#       Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
#       Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"

Those gave me doubles.

I could not start X when I commented out those options plus the driver
or those options plus the driver plus the identifier.
