I had that problem....it turned out to be the mouse protocol and screen selection.

find the config first....... root#find / -name XF86Config  

its probably in /etc/X11 remove it and any others find finds.

run xf86config as root and select the correct choices for you system and let the config tool write it when it ask to.  

now open the file in vi....cd etc/Xll/Xf86Config     find the section on input pointers, in the mouse protocol section set it to "Auto" and for the device set you /dev/sysmouse     that should get the mouse running and the xf86config should have setup the keyboard correctly and screens correctly.   That's the only thing that worked for me.

good luck

Hello all,

 I am experiencing a problem from which others have suffered as well, at least
according to the mailing lists. However, so far I did not see an answer on how
to solve it.

 What happens is that after starting X, both keyboard and mouse completely stop
responding. Mouse pointer is not moving, keyboard is completely dead, including
keys like num-lock, caps-lock that should switch on/off LED's. It is obvious
that the machine is still running. If I start X only, it will lock after
starting X, if I run startx script it will execute window manager as well.
Other people have reported that one can telnet to the machine and kill X, but I
cannot test that.

 This appears to be a frequent problem. Can anyone remember what has he/she
done to fix/circumvent it.

 If I don't fix this one quick, my wife will kill me. Although some might think
that the world would benefit from it, I would, on the other hand, be very
disappointed.

Thanks for help,
Kresimir
