Description Sammy 2001-03-06 21:17:33 UTC

It seems like the new kudzu modifies my /etc/X11/XF86Config file
in a way to crash the X server....first of all any modifications
to this file should save a XF86Config.rpmsave file. Basically big
error is that a the file is missing a Section "InputDevice" statement
before the mouse definitions. Here is the diff between the "wrong"
and correct files:

$ diff XF86Config-4 XF86Config-4.wrong
206c206
< Section "InputDevice"
---
>     Device    "/dev/mouse"
212,213c212,213
<     Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"
<     Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"
---
>     Protocol    "PS/2"
>     Device    "/dev/mouse"
330,331c330,331
<     InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
<     InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
---
>     Device    "/dev/mouse"
>     Device    "/dev/mouse"

kudzu doesn't directly touch X configuration files; most likely it's
an Xconfigurator or mouseconfig problem.

Can you post the 'diff -u' format diff?

we haven't been able to duplicate this, and I am not sure how it happened.  It 
looks like XFree86 3.3.6 instructions were written to your 4.0.x config file.  
Examining the code, I really can't see how this happened, unless you perhaps 
have the two files in /etc/X11 symlinked together.
