From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20021216 Description of problem: While using a serial mouse in X, the screen will eventually blank while the mouse is in use. Using the nubule on the keyboard (AKA PS2 pointing device), the screen comes back. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install a serial mouse 2.Add it as a core pointer-sending device 3.Start X 4.Work with the serial mouse only for a while and the screen goes blank 5.Move the pointer with the PS2 pointer and the screen comes back Actual Results: Screen goes dark despite serial mouse usage Expected Results: Shouldn't matter what pointer is used; core pointer events should prevent screen blanking. Additional info: Relevant portions of XF86Config can be provided if you want it. Left severity at Normal instead of Low although a simple workaround (move the nubule-mouse) exists because it's annoying my wife, whom I'm trying to get to switch to Linux! :)

Pong. Waiting to get access to my wife's computer so that I can snag the info. I shoulda just left it in the bug report. :/ Will report back tonight with the info.
Joeseph, We still need those files to better look at this bug.
Created attachment 90436 [details] XF86Config The XF86Config file in question.
Created attachment 90437 [details] XFree86 log Log file from the X server. Is huge (>3MB!) so is bzip2'ed.
Sorry for the high lag. Things have been hectic here. Hope these help. I'll try to be more responsive if you need more info.
