This is not the fault of the Xserver. It is partly the fault of the archaic hardware design: When you open the PS/2 mouse device without a mouse being connected the chipset will generate a fault data byte after a long timeout period. Since this data byte doesn't get serviced (appearantly no interrupt is generated) the keyboard/mouse controller doesn't generate any interrupt for any further events. If at all the kernel needs to handle this. The funny thing is: if you access the keyboard thru an ioctl (ie when terminating X or by setting the keyboard rate) the fault package is serviced and the keyboard starts working again. If at all this problem needs to be handled in the kernel. Egbert. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
