Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5 Followup-For: Bug #169427 I stumbled upon this bug on my laptop which has a builtin ps/2 mouse. After doing an upgrade /dev/psaux went away. This caused X not to load at the next boot and for whatever reason gdm wouldn't pass control onto the next rc file.
X has the configuration allowing for a secondary mouse in /dev/input/mice. this allows for (2.6) ps2 mice and usb mice to work well under a default X config. However, the lack of the 'Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "true"' causes X to not load when it otherwise would have loaded happily. What harm could be done in changing the default debian XF86Config-4 to include this line? In a worst case, someone with an improper mouse configuration gets keyboard-only access to X.
