Description
After today's upgrade Xorg does not start anymore.
Power Button seems to be "connected" twice.
When removed from xorg.conf, same error for AUX and touchscreen appear.
After removing those as well, X does not start and does not provide any more errors.
1 error in xorg log:
[3302520.534] () Power Button: always reports core events
[3302520.534] () Power Button: Device: "/dev/input/event0"

- Priority changed from critical to minor
- Summary changed from X not starting: PreInit returned NULL for "Power Button" to Xorg.log: PreInit returned NULL for "Power Button" (probably harmless)
Sorry, that message is quite common and harmless.
The thing that prevented my X from starting was "alias ls='ls --color'" instead of correct "alias ls='ls --color=auto'" I learned to use because /etc/profile is not honored as configuration file and is being constantly overwritten.
