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.
