I had an issue where the noveau driver would crash on a fresh install of Jessie, so I tried installing the proprietary NVIDIA driver. I used the following procedure: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... cy_GPUs.29
After rebooting and finishing the xorg.conf setup (as per the above procedure) and rebooting again, XFCE no longer crashes (Yay!). However, my USB mouse no longer works, the pointer just sits in the center of the screen. The red light is on underneath the mouse and it was working just before the reinstall. The device also does not seem appear in the output of 'lsusb'
After several google searches, the only clue I can find is in the output of "grep -i mouse /var/log/Xorg.0.log" (I'm manually typing in the output as the issue is on a different machine):
Code: Select all
(**) |-->Input Device "Mouse0"
(WW) Hotplugging is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled
(WW) Disabling Mouse0
(==) NVIDIA(0) Silken mouse enabled
