Now I do have a notion: Leaving the office in the evening after running xlock and then returning in the morning and unlocking triggers it, AFAICT every time. (Just running xlock for a shorter time does not.) So naturally I got curious, and noticed from the log file that something appears to trigger a rescan of USB devices when I unlock my xlock in the morning. But is it Xorg, or is it hald, or is something else to blame? Here is the latest dmesg output from that time (I omit the messages concerning attached USB disks etc): Unknown USB device: vendor 0x046d product 0xc408 bus uhub4 ums0: <Logitech USB Trackball, class 0/0, rev 1.10/14.00, addr 5> on uhub4 ums0: 5 buttons. Unknown USB device: vendor 0x046d product 0xc016 bus uhub3 ums1: <Logitech Optical USB Mouse, class 0/0, rev 2.00/3.40, addr 6> on uhub3 ums1: 3 buttons and Z dir. Also, Xorg.0.conf is modified at the same time. I don't know how many of its trailing lines are from this morning, so here is a random number of trailing lines: (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "AT Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD) (II) config/hal: removing device USB Trackball (II) UnloadModule: "mouse" (II) config/hal: Adding input device USB Trackball (**) USB Trackball: Device: "/dev/sysmouse" (==) USB Trackball: Protocol: "Auto" (**) USB Trackball: always reports core events (**) Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" (==) USB Trackball: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50 (**) USB Trackball: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 (**) USB Trackball: Buttons: 9 (**) USB Trackball: Sensitivity: 1 (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "USB Trackball" (type: MOUSE) (II) USB Trackball: SetupAuto: hw.iftype is 4, hw.model is 0 (II) USB Trackball: SetupAuto: protocol is SysMouse - Haraldhelp
