I have an Xorg conf to fix my mouse. Without it my mouse does not work. When I start my system and get past the login my mouse works momentarily (it did that before anyway) and it stops. I need to open terminal and kill Xorg sudo killall Xorg, re-login and my mouse is fixed.

Is there a fix to get the Xorg conf to load properly without having to kill Xorg?

Manjaro 4.4.13-1, xorg-server 1.17.4-2, Mad Catz R.A.T.7, KDE KDM

  • This may or may not be relevant to your problem, but it's worth trying. Most gaming mice and keyboards these days register as both a keyboard and a mouse, so that they can play tricks with macros. For this reason, it's a good idea to tie the pointer and the keyboard sections to the right USB IDs, or to the right physical port. Something like this: Option "Phys" "usb-0000:00:14.0-10.2/input0". This way your mouse won't take over the "main" keyboard, nor the keyboard would take over the "main" mouse. Commented Jun 26, 2016 at 6:53
  • What configuration did you make? Copy-paste the relevant file names and content. How does X start — what display manager do you use? Commented Jun 26, 2016 at 12:39
  • X11 logs (typically /var/log/Xorg.0.log) should also provide information about what's going on. Commented Jun 26, 2016 at 19:35
