There was a bug in X several months back that resulted in the same symptoms. As I recall, it appeared with first X version that defaulted to using hal and dbus -- a work around was to tweak xorg.conf to restore the old behaviour, by adding entries like this: Section "ServerLayout" [...] Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" EndSection Check the archives for the full story -- there were more things to twiddle than just that option. The problem was fixed within a couple of weeks, and given that you should have rebuilt everything as part of your 7.2 to 8.0 upgrade, it really shouldn't be affecting you. It might be the case that the same sort of work arounds help in your case though.
