SDB:The XServer Has Problems with the Mouse

From openSUSE

Symptom:

You have switched from X to a virtual console where GPM is running. When you switch back to X, the X server no longer finds the mouse and finally crashes.

Solution:

If you encounter this problem, set the flag

AllowMouseOpenFail

in the section:

Section "ServerFlags"

like this:

Section "ServerFlags"

   AllowMouseOpenFail

EndSection

Once this option has been set, the mouse should work again by switching back and forth between the text mode and x once more.
