Description Peter 2009-03-20 22:03:14 UTC

I have a usb logitech mouse and I took out USB HID devices when I compiled the kernel thinking that a usb mouse would be part of the usb drivers, not the HID devices.  My mistake.

However, this causes:

Backtrace:
0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x84) [0x80d2c84]
1: [0xb7f05400]
2: X(main+0x6ad) [0x80750cd]
3: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdc) [0xb7c7760c]
4: X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x1ed( [0x80741d1]

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting

With for instance /dev/input/mice Protocol "auto", i.e., if you don't specify a mouse or if you do in different ways or with Driver "evdev" or "mouse".  It should at worst start X with a non-working mouse or exit with an error when it doesn't find that USB HID in the kernel, not what I assume is a segmentation fault.

Note that I did recompile kernel with the USB HID and it now starts without crashing.

Please tell us which version of x11-base/xorg-server you are using. Also post your "emerge --info" and attach your kernel config file.

Reopen this bug when you provide the requested information.
