I've commited an always use /dev/input/mice to system-config-mouse, and will build a new package for rawhide shortly. For the system-config-display --reconfig displaying blank, I need more data. Can you ssh into the box and get the console output/Xorg log file. Created attachment 107392 [details]
Log: Caught signal 11. Server aborting
requested log.
Just to be clearer, if xorg.conf is edited to use /dev/input/mice as the core pointer, X11 behaves normal. Created attachment 107393 [details]
FatalError re-entered, aborting
typescript of startx.
Created attachment 107394 [details]
CORRECTED: FatalError re-entered, aborting
Sorry about that. The previous typescript was for a rpm bug on a different
system.
OK so this only occurs if you've configured the mouse using system-config-mouse? What is the output of running as root: /usr/sbin/kudzu -p -c mouse It sounds like you have a workaround that will hide the bug by hardcoding /dev/inpute/mice into xorg.conf. The following shows that /etc/sysconfig/mouse is correct, probing returns the right value, kudzu and system-config-mouse fail to change xorg.conf. But it would appear the larger problem is xorg.conf leaves console unusuable if the core pointer is wrong. Does that need to be filed as another bug? I consider rendering the system unusable worse than guessing the wrong mouse. Perhaps we just have diverging interests at this point. They following is left for your information.
