After changing the mouse protocol, the mouse works, but the server still cannot be killed with Ctr-Alt-BkSpc. I seem to have caught the more painful bugs, as I was unable to kill the server without a reboot (no keyboard sequence response and no mouse exit.) I thought the core server would terminate on a kill -SIGTERM or restart with kill -SUGHUP, but it ignored both of these. It was removed with a SIGKILL, however it did not go through the driver shutdown sequence, leaving the console unusable. > >Here are relevant sections of XF86Config: > > > >Section "ServerLayout" > > Identifier "XFree86 Configured" > > Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 > > InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" > > InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" > >EndSection > > > >Section "InputDevice" > > Identifier "Keyboard0" > > Driver "keyboard" > >EndSection > > Try adding the following to your ServerLayout section: > > Option "HandleSpecialKeys" "Always" > > and see if that makes a difference.

This option works, and Ctr-Alt-BkSpc shuts down the server as expected with it. -- Kevin _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
