Having heard about this issue from the usual places, and having read
Branden's rather frightening plunge into the rat's nest of licensing
cruft (BR: you're a braver man than I), I set about trying to figure out
exactly what the problem is. So, I headed over to xfree86.org and
tracked down the new

Interesting. I'm able to start XFree86 this way, but doing so causes
the keyboard and mouse to die. I had to shell into the box and kill
XFree86 to regain control.

I'm having some trouble configuring an ATI Radeon 9000. It seems that
X and lspci can't identify the card. I'm not sure if that's the fault
of the card for not identifying itself correctly, or if the right ID
strings are missing.

I should probably add that the problem does go away if I disable the
hardware cursor. I've been led to believe that this is a "bad thing."
Is it? If software cursors suck in some subtle way, I won't be in
front of this computer often enough to know fist hand.

Hey there --
Another funky question for the group (sorry folks!). I've noticed that
occasionally the mouse pointer gets shifted 10 or 20 pixels to the
right of the mouse focus, and that the problem refuses to go away
until the system is rebooted. Google turned up a few hits on the X
mailing list
Awesome! That nailed the problem. I didn't realize what I was looking
at when I saw this option in the man page. When I first saw this
problem, it was a "patch the source or bother your vendor problem."
Thanks to Sven too.

That sounds like the problem (more or less), but I don't know how it
could have been turned on by default. I'll give it a try.

I've recently been tinkering with VIA's EPIA motherboard and the
various gizmos integrated into VIA's "super southbridge" chip.
Basically everything is crammed into this chip:

I don't exactly have a solution, but when my mouse stops working on a
new X, I try the following until I get the settings right :
- switch the mouse device. You've got /dev/psaux, the
/dev/input/mouse? devices, and, if you're using gpm,
/dev/gpmdata. Try each of them, but you probably want /d
xdm isn't configured from XF86Config-4. If X is actually running via
"startx," you need to look elsewhere to get xdm to behave itself. It
has its own configuration files in /etc/X11/xdm/. I don't use it, so
I'm not sure if it is broken in a configuration kind of way, or in
some more serious way.

Man, if you were running Quake, Wolfenstein and Unreal on a mission
critical box, you'd deserve whatever you'd got. ^_^

I'm running a GeForce2 MX400, for what it's worth. Oh, and a cruddy
SiS card for the second monitor. No problems whatsoever.
