Description Adam Jackson 2009-02-12 19:14:50 UTC
Description of problem:

Dig the attached X log.  strace stays:

27527 write(0, "(WW) <default pointer>: No Device specified, looking for one...\n", 64) = 64
27527 open("/dev/mouse", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_NONBLOCK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
27527 open("/dev/psaux", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_NONBLOCK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
27527 open("/dev/gpmdata", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_NONBLOCK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
27527 write(2, "(EE) <default pointer>: Cannot find which device to use.\n", 57) = 57

Which is just silly, we ought to be looking for /dev/input/mice too.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.59
