Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0-0pre1v1
Severity: minor
Tags: experimental upstream
Hello,
I tried to make a XF86Config-4 for a system where any time the mouse
device changes (see below). To make X always start, I did not want to
set a certain device as CorePointer but expected X to choose one, as
described in XF86Config-4(5x), line 386. However, it does not choose any
but fails to start if the CorePointer option is not set on some device.
Next thing I looked for is an option to force X start without a Core
input device (I remember there was some) but the manpage does not
contain any info about it, not does README.mouse.gz.
MfG,
Eduard.
