+ WORKAROUND:
+
+ 1) Backup your configuration: open a terminal and write:
+ sudo cp -a /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
+
+ 2) Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf : open a terminal and write:
+ kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
+
+ 3) Comment out problematic entries. Replace:
+ InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
+ InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
+ InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
+ with :
+ # InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
+ # InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
+ # InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
+
+ 4) Save the file and restart the computer.
+
+ 5) If you encounter any problems (the graphical interface does not load) just
restore the backup with:
+ sudo cp -a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
+
+ and restart the computer.
