Re: xsrc/41677: X in -current requires and xorg.conf file for the mouse to work properly

What type of mouse would this be, possibly synaptics? I've had similar problems even in linux with hal not recognizing the mouse right. maybe you dont have the right drivers, do you have xf86-input-mouse, xf86-input-evdev, and possibly xf86-input-synaptics?

>Description:
When the X server is started and not configuration file is specified or present in /etc/X11, the mouse can only be moved horzontally.

running X -configure and the using the created config file usin X -config remedies the problem.

X should work without a config file, though.
>How-To-Repeat:
make sure there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, then run startx and enjoy your mouse movements.
