Hi all.

I have a problem in XFree86 4.1. I'm using XFree86 4.1
on Mandrake 8.1, and was using it on Mandrake 8.0. The
problem is about mouse and keyboard.

When I start X, one of the third cases below happens:

1) Everything is OK, no problem!

2) Mouse is running well, but keyboard is completely
locked. I can not enter something, I can't even press
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. I close X by using mouse and then
in console, keyboard is still locked.

3) Keyboard is completely locked, but this time mouse
is moving crazily. I have to kill X by using another
computer (using telnet or ssh). When X is killed, I
return to console, but keyboard is still locked.

I have found a stupid solution: When 2 or 3 happens, I
close X as I said before, and then use another
computer to solve keyboard problem. I login to the
main computer by using the other computer, and execute
the following command as a superuser:

# cat /dev/psaux

Then I close cat by using Ctrl+C, and when I return to
the main computer, everything is fine...

But I'm a window manager (Efsane II) developer, and
this lock-ups make me crazy, since some days I have to
start and close X 100 times...

Thanks a lot.
