x start but my cursor doesn't respond

Hi!

I've tried the suggestions that I've find here in the forum and in the wiki. If I type the command startx it runs ok and three windows appear in my screen, but the cursor doesn't move. The keyboard is ok.

With X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf command my screen just turns out black and nothing appear. Then I switch to another console and back to the first console and kill the X test with Ctrl-C as the guide says. The output of  that is this:

Re: x start but my cursor doesn't respond

Could you post /etc/X11/xorg.conf please. The mouse may have something to do with hotplugging.

[edit]
I am guessing you have an intel card. Try this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "mydevice"
    Driver "intel"
    Option "Tiling" "false"
EndSection

If that doesn't work try reading through this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69667

Xorg-server 1.6.0 and its related drivers will make their move to extra.
This new release features input device properties, DRI2 and kernel
modesetting (KMS). Note that DRI2 and KMS are only implemented by the
Intel driver at this moment.
This release also comes with a new driver: xf86-video-intel-legacy. This
driver is an old intel driver version, patched to support recent
xorg-server versions. This driver should be used by people having
problems with the newer xf86-video-intel driver.
People still using xorg-server 1.4.2 are advised to upgrade and replace intel or i810 drivers with the legacy driver.

Re: x start but my cursor doesn't respond

First, I apologize for my slow answer time, but actually I don't have so much time as I like for this stuff -_-.

Well, I changed the video driver, the one that I've installed is  xf86-video-intel-legacy. I run the test and this is the output:
