[Bug 301506] Re: HID input not working after upgrade to Ibex

[grncdr]

Some more investigation seems to point at the new evdev driver as the
culprit. I attempted to use a USB gamepad as an HID device, and had the
same result, and also the interesting behaviour that the joystick was
controlling my mouse cursor. This led me to this bug:

After using the FDI workaround listed in this comment:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-
server/+bug/274203/comments/78, I can now access the gamepad as an HID
device in chuck like before. So it seems that evdev is perhaps a bit
zealous in locking the device and prevents other user-land applications
from receiving the HID messages directly.
