The XServer Has Problems with the Mouse
Support knowledgebase (maddin_mousefail)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: All versions
Symptom:
You have switched from X to a virtual console where GPM is running.
When you switch back to X, the X server no longer finds the mouse and
finally crashes.
Solution:
If you encounter this problem, set the flag
AllowMouseOpenFail
in the section:
Section "ServerFlags"
like this:
Section "ServerFlags"
AllowMouseOpenFail
EndSection
Once this option has been set, the mouse should work again by switching back and forth between the text
mode and x once more.
