I'd like to see xwindow server gives it up when it fails to get the mouse
then continue going. If you use it as server, err entries will
fill some file system, even /etc on root file system as in the case of the
one with Caldera 1.3 and others. After a remote reboot you think you are
fine, but, damn...

#Guys, if you end up with *dm coming up with no mouse, do ALT-F1, login as
#root, and do init 3.
