LOL X11

A minute ago I pulled a mouse out of my laptop and the X server crashed. The last messages in Xorg.0.log were:

(EE) Read error: No such device (19, -1 != 24)
(II) Microsoft Microsoft USB Wireless Mouse: Off

This happened because Xorg server 1.4.99.1 force-loads evdev contrary to my xorg.conf, and we all know that evdev is a crash city.

It's a good thing I was born and raised back when this sort of thing was expected every day, so X cannot catch me with a half-entered bug report in a browser. Also, it seems that Vim finally learned to remove dead .swp files without annoying users.

a) Option "NoAutoAddDevices"
b) if it really did crash, the last message in Xorg.0.log would be a backtrace
