Hi, Vivek thanks for reply. I am not sure if I understood your idea correctly. Do you mean having a mouse is a prerequisite to having a keyboard in starting X window? This can't be the situation of mine because the "AllowMouseOpenFail" option didnot work wether with or without a keyboard. I guess I'd better provide more information of the system: *XFree86 4.3.0 compiled from source code from official xfree86.org ftp *glibc 2.2.5 *kernel 2.4.22 thanks David ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Vivek Dasmohapatra <vivek@xxxxxxxx> Reply-To: xfree86@xxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2004 11:32:18 +0100 >On Tue, Sep 21, 2004 at 06:19:57PM +0800, David Sun wrote: > >> Could any body tell me what's possibly the reason of the >> "AllowMouseOpenFail" failure? > >What is happening here (I am informed) is that X is waiting to see >some mouse input before noticing the keyboard.
