Re: Lenny: Mouse freezes after kde ends a session and kdm reappears on Intel G35 chipset
Brice,
thanks for your quick reply. I applied this change to xorg.conf
Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB-PS.2_Optical_Mouse-event-mouse"
# Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
But this does not change the situation, the problem still exists. The mouse in
kdm still hangs after I exit the first session.
Is X restarted when kdm reappears after a user quits a session?
I think about opening a bug report. Does anybody have an idea if that is
rather a kdm issue or a X server issue?
I would like to verify if that problem also occurs on a fresh lenny install
(without reinstalling the system). How would I completely regenerate an
xorg.conf?
Thanks,
Rainer
PS: I uploaded the new Xorg.0.log to
http://bokomoko.de/~rd/X3500/Xorg.0.log-by-id
