Looks good. Xorg.0.log is still missing. See my comment #1. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Maybe GNOME runs gsynaptics or synclient directly to break the synaptics driver settings. Please do the following: Chose Failsafe as Xsession instead of GNOME in displaymanager. Then run synclient -l > /tmp/failsafe in the xterm, which is started. Type 'exit' to log out. Select GNOME as Xsession again in displaymager. Run synclient -l > /tmp/gnome in a terminal. Attach both files to this bugreport.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=403727 User bobharvey@europe.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=403727#c11 Robert Harvey changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |bobharvey@europe.com --- Comment #11 from Robert Harvey 2008-10-15 12:52:19 MDT --- I have been seeing exactly the symptoms described in Comment 4 above. The machine works fine for a while, but on occasion after logging in the cursor stops responding to the synaptic touchpad. The cursor works fine in gdm, and after entering a username, all the while the grey thing called "the panel" is being iterated across with little icons. As soon as that stops - with nmApplets - the cursor freezes. The right-click button can be used to bring up a menu on the desktop, and if I use that to open a terminal and run synclient -m 100 the touchpad is still seen working normally through that. Once a user login has got into this state, it can not normally be recovered. I have had limited success with deleting /tmp/gconf-<user> before logging in, but usually the login is borked. If you log in using KDE or another desktop the cursor works fine. It is only Gnome - and the Gnome failsafe - that are broken. My first attempts to work around have been to: create a new user, rename the broken user directory in /home, to a safe name cp -R the new user directory to replace the broken one chown -R the replacement with the correct credentials for the login. Loging in as the affected user now gives a login that works with the cursor but has lost all the customisation, data and mail, which have to be copied piecemeal from the safe name or re-created. This is a dirty process and I have been trying to use ls -lt -c to find what the most recently changed files have been. This bug report gives me further clues but I would also like to add my voice to the complaints about the behaviour and the lack of obvious information in any of the system logs to help identitfy what was going on. Let me end this saga with an account of inducing this problem - not entirely reproducable but has recurred intermittently. Open the menu and 'Control Center' (sic). Find Hardware - Touchpad . Select the 'tapping' tab and untick 'tapping' - and the cursor may well instantly freeze on you and become frozen even if you ctrl-alt-backspace and log in again, or reboot. It is beginning to look like it only goes wrong when tapping is turned off somehow - using the control centre, or a profile script to call synclient, or putting an option in xorg.cong - but I cannot be precise about that, that may just be when the config is updated and that causes the fatal setting described in comment 4 to be written. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
