When X starts, it immediately crashes. This seems to go on for ever. I tried pressing <CTRL>+<ALT>+<Backspace> again and again and right than the X-server seems to start normaly. Now it seems to be running fine but has some mouse issues. The mouse is a 9 button Microsoft Explorer. But when I run /usr/bin/xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2 9" to setup my favorite button behaviour it reports "Warning: Only changing the first 9 of 1 buttons." and the buttons behave like standard. The reasons why I see these problems connected, are 1. They both started after the last update 2. The Xorg.log and Xorg.log.old Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start X 2.wait and watch it crashing 3.hammer <CTRL>+<ALT>+<Backspace> until it is up 4.watch mouse the for me unusual end of Xorg.log.old (the crashed one): (II) evdev brain: Rescanning devices (1).

seems to be solved by a change in configuration for the mouse. formerly the mouse (Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0) had to be used through driver "evdev" to support the 9 buttons. now this leads to the problem and the mouse is supported through driver "mouse". sorry for not trying harder before the report ;o)
