Are you sure this is a bug? It looks like a misconfiguration. Did you
configure the server manually or with Xfdrake (You're running mandrake
right?) .
Normally, X uses this kind of scheme for its configuration:
serverlayout
* keyboard
* mouse
* screen
- monitor
- graphics device
Since the server says "no core pointer device specified" it probably doesn't
know how to use your mouse. In your ServerLayout section, there must be a
line like
InputDevice "foo" "CorePointer"
Where foo corresponds to the Identifier name in the InputDevice section that
descripbes your mouse.
