If you can use the USB mouse via /dev/input/mice (or another /dev/input/* node), that should work as CorePointer even if the mouse isn't attached. Or if you don't need hot-plugging of the mouse to work, try Option "AllowMouseOpenFail". -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
