If I compare the xorg.conf from comment #1 with the one from comment #5 I found a section which is named: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[2]" ... EndSection sax wouldn't add such a section because all pointer devices must have odd Identifier numbers (1,3,5,...). I assume this section was added manually. Based on the configuration from comment #5 could you reproduce the problem if you switch on remote access now ?

The correct Identifier naming for sax must be Mouse[1],Mouse[3],Mouse[5],etc... if this is not the case severe problems may occur To prove my assumption I asked you to provide a reference file created by sax which you sent me in comment #5. This file doesn't contain wrong Identifier strings and using this file as reference for other configuration tasks works as expected. Therefore I still cannot reproduce your issue because I'm not able to create a file like it was provide in comment #1 with sax. If you can create it without hand made modifications tell me how and I will try to reproduce the problem Thanks -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I tested a plain 10.2 installation on a laptop with a synaptics touch pad and it works there 2) Additionally I used the file from comment #1 as you suggested, fixed the wrong manual made Identifiers and copied it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Based on that file I called sax2 and activated VNC (remote access) the result is also a valid file with all options. I will attach the diff for the comment #1 configuration and the created xorg.conf for your reference.

Andreas uses a manually edited xorg.conf, maybe to workaround other issues. Still this is no reason to ignore the limitations SaX2 has, when it comes to reading xorg.conf files, which has not been written by Sax2 itself. Marcus made this pretty clear. And these limitations won't disappear. VNC configuration has now been removed from SaX2 anyway (FATE #302884). -- 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.
