Hello, What is the point the mouse to be opened in vga_setmode(), it apparently works only when running as root and not just suid root? (I don't want to release mouse device permissions) Why to close mouse when setting textmode? I suggest to move mouse_init() call to vga_init() before retiring root privileges and forget closing mouse in text mode, should work well I guess. I have attached a patch to fix this problem. BTW. The best mouse type IMHO is gpm as it doesn't require stopping gpm. Krzysiek
