 |
|
Hi,
after having installed UDEV I noticed that if I forgot to plug in my USB mouse before server X starts, it does not work.. Do you know if there is a way to avoid the need to restart the X server? Is the problem due to the fact that the X server finds in the xorg.conf a reference to the mouse device and that device node is created only when the mouse is plugged in but is too late because the X server skipped that mouse device declaration?

MetalWarrior,
Do you have some other pointing device?
X will refuse to start and complain about the "Core Pointer" by default.
You may have more than one core pointer if you wish but you must tell X that in xorg.conf.
What hardware do you have and what is in your xorg.conf?

I have the touchpad of the laptop also... Everything works fine (both touchpad and external mouse) if the external usb mouse is plugged in before X starts..

Thank you anyway.. ^_^
I hope to find a solution, even if it is not a big issue (I just have to remember to plug in the usb mouse during the boot)..
Bye!
