xorg.conf
With a Dell Latitude D820, recently upgraded from Fedora 8 to Fedora 10, the mouse sometimes becomes totally unresponsive to all input. I saw this under Fedora 8, but FAR more rarely. Usually when I have this problem, I have the problem immediately after starting X, but sometimes the mouse -- for no obvious reason -- becomes non-responsive. In all cases, the keyboard continues to work. Sometimes if I switch from X to a text console and back, the mouse will start working again. So far always, if I use keyboard shurtcuts to log out and then log back in, the mouse will start working again.
How reproducible:
Since upgrading to Fedora 10, I see this daily. I don't know how to cause this to occur and so far looking in logs I have not seen any obvious complaint correlated with this. I did see this message at my previous login (where I had this prolblem)
GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XFree86.conf to use GSynaptics
but when I look at the xorg.conf (attached), it already has this line. I logged out and logged back in, and the second login (without this problem) does not have this complaint in .xsession-errors. There is no obvious problem in dmesg output or int messages.log.
