I work for uses Linux (a custom version) running the 2.4.24 kernel and

couldn't find the core pointer. However, since we've upgraded to 4.5.0
this behaviour no longer occurs - even with the "AllowMouseOpenFail"
server flag explicitly set to "false".
Given the fact that my company remotely manages internet kiosks, we want
to be able to detect if a mouse is not connected since this usually
indicates faulty hardware. Is it still possible to prevent X from starting
if there is no mouse attached or has this option been removed? I would
appreciate any help since I've not been able to find anything in the docs
or via searching the internet.
This is likely a consequence of auto-configuration. I'll have a look. You
wouldn't happen to have a mouse-less log, would you?
Thanks for you reply. I've included a mouse-less log as requested as well as
the configuration file.
Thanks.
You say you upgraded to 4.5.0. From what version?
Marc.
