Links to a few bugs etc.
Gist seems to be it's affecting people with evdev entries in their xorg.conf files. Which is me.
This in the Xorg log
I'm just about to try commenting out the entries but I'll post now lest I kill X and lose what I've written.....
Edit:
Well there you go silly me.
I had evdev liberally splattered throughout xorg conf files that have followed me around for years (I use a separate layout for triple screen gaming so do need them).
And I didn't have xf86-input-evdev installed!
Installed it and the problem seems to be gone.
