Description Alexander Lavrinenko 2005-11-02 19:54:16 UTC

Hello,

my laptop has synaptics touchpad built-in with "disable" button. If i press this button during suse boot before X11 are run, X fails to start leaving me with console on tty1. This happens even if my external usb mouse is connected and detected by OS. Please add xorg.conf option to ignore "mouse not available" event by default.

Could you attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Thanks.

Don't know whether it would make sense to configure the core pointer for the mouse driver instead.

I fixed the AllowMouseOpenFail setup. The problem was that the default
value to this option is "false" so to enable it is not enough to specify

   Option "AllowMouseOpenFail"

you have to set

   Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "on"

fixed
