well that driver puts the following into the X config
#BEGIN HP ILO X MOUSE DRIVER
InputDevice "hpmouse" "SendCoreEvents"
#END HP ILO X MOUSE DRIVER
and
#BEGIN HP ILO X MOUSE DRIVER
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "hpmouse"
Driver "hpmouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/hpmouse"
Option "Helper" "/opt/hp/hpmouse/hpmouse-helper"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "MinX" "0"
Option "MaxX" "3000"
Option "MinY" "0"
Option "MaxY" "3000"
EndSection
#END HP ILO X MOUSE DRIVER
and that log contains LOTS of stuff relating to the crash but not sure
where to start - i will paste some here but attach the whole log as its
extensive
