Some thoughts. We use a system which has a touch screen but no mouse which works OK. I'm not sure if you want to have a mouse on your system sometimes. If you don’t need a mouse at any time just comment out both the line in the ServerLayout section which references the mouse driver. Than make sure your touch screen is set to "CorePointer" by adding "CorePointer" on the end of the line which references your touch screen in the ServerLayout section. You don’t need to do any thing about the Device sections with the mouse drivers as the system only loads what is specified in the ServerLayout section. If you need to be able to run with a mouse then the best way is to have two different server layouts and select the one you want when you start X using the -layout switch.

Hi, Vivek One more question: is it ordinary that the whole system hangs when XFree86 waiting for a configure mouse to be present? thanks so much David 在 2004-09-21 二 的 18:32, Vivek Dasmohapatra 写道: > 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.
