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

Hi Marc, 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?

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 o

Hi Marc, 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. Lance Marc Aurele La France wrote: On Tue, 13 Sep 2005, Lance Duivenbode wrote: Marc Aurele La France wrote: On Thu, 8 Sep 2005, Lance Duivenb
