           Summary: Black screen if corepointer device not found
           Product: xorg
           Version: CVS_head
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Input/Mouse
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: jlp at holodeck1.com


I installed 6.7.99.903 and it was runing quite OK for a couple of restarts. But 
then when I restarted my computer and when it should enter X I just got a black 
screen and nothing happened. By examining the xorg log I found out 
that /dev/mouse which has been set as core pinter device has been deleted. 
 
If X could not set/use corepointer device it shouldn't just stay at black 
screen. It should at least put you back to console with error visible or even 
better just start the X but without mouse. 
 
I'll attach the Xorg log.
