[solved] mouse focus problem

Hello everyone,

this week, I've made a fresh install of Arch 64bits (I accidentally fromated my / during an installing of windows), and I have a little problem with X since.
I can move the mouse cursor but the focus doesn't work properly.
On the login screen of gdm, the cursor stays as a text input cursor wherever I go, and it is hard to select/move windows with a WM.

At first I tried with gdm/gnome, then startx/openbox. With a new xorg.conf and a previous back up.
Same issues.

If I restart X, the behaviour of the mouse goes back to normal. The problem only appears at the first X session after a boot.

Hope someone can help me.

Re: [solved] mouse focus problem

I tried a lot of things, but I think what did the trick is adding

Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"

to xorg.conf
