There is a bug in the Debian Xorg 2:1.7.5-1 (currently in testing and
unstable) that makes it not read from uinput devices, which has been
fixed only recently and hasn't been uploaded yet. It only exists in
Debian testing and unstable, not in released versions. You can apply the
following patch yourself to the xorg-server Debian package and recompile:
