Re: [XFree86] X starts when mouse is not connected (AllowMouseOpenFail = false)
Ok, thanks for you help anyway Marc - it is much appreciated.
For the time being I've managed to write an app that attempts to set the
mouse to 3D mode. If this fails I can tell there's no mouse attached.
Crude but it does the job.
Best wishes for the festive season and keep up the great work.
Regards,
Lance

I work for uses Linux (a custom version) running the 2.4.24
kernel and we've just upgraded to XFree86 4.5.0. Previously,
when X was started without a mouse it would exit back to the
shell complaining that it couldn't find the core pointer.
However, since we've upgraded to 4.5.0 this behaviour no
longer occurs - even with the AllowMouseOpenFail server
flag explicitly set to false.
Given the fact that my company remotely manages internet
kiosks, we want to be able to detect if a mouse is not
connected since this usually indicates faulty hardware. Is it
still possible to prevent X from starting if there is no
mouse attached or has this option been removed? I would
appreciate any help since I've not been able to find anything
in the docs or via searching the internet.
This is likely a consequence of auto-configuration. I'll have
a look. You wouldn't happen to have a mouse-less log, would you?
Thanks for you reply. I've included a mouse-less log as
requested as well as the configuration file.
You say you upgraded to 4.5.0. From what version?
Sorry about the delay but it took some time to find out (I'm
pretty new to the company). It appears we were running version
4.2 before.
OK. Does it make any difference to add O_EXCL back into
xf86OpenSerial()'s open(2) call on line 143 of
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/posix_tty.c?
Anything more on this?
Sorry Marc, I've been a little bit busy with other things lately.
In regards to the change, I could only find it on line 150 of
posix_tty.c where the code is:
SYSCALL (fd = open (dev, O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK));
if (fd == -1)
{
xf86Msg (X_ERROR,
xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device %s\n\t%s.\n,
dev, strerror (errno));
xfree(dev);
return (-1);
}
I've made the change and as I write this it's building. I'll let you
know what happens when I've tested it (hopefully today or tomorrow),
I finally managed to get around to testing the change you suggested
(I replaced the XFree86 binary with the new one - hope that's the
right thing to do!). Unfortunately it made no difference. Even if
'AllowMouseOpenFail' is explicitly set to 'false' it still fails. Any
other ideas?
The only thing I can think of is that the kernel now thinks there is a
mouse regardless.
Marc.

[XFree86] X.org and XFree86
I'm a little bewildered by X.org and Xfree86 so I have a few questions: 1. How are they different? (especially since they are both implementations of the x window system) 2. Is Xfree86 still being developed? 3. Does XFree86 support things like composite extensions? 4. If they are implementations of the x windows system, then what is the x window system? Simply an idea or is there code available for the x window system? Thankyou, Nicholas
