I'm using Xorg with
Everything works great, until my input device disconnects (for example due to EMI). And after that happens, when it connects back, it is not being taken up automatically by X. The Xorg server becomes absolutely uncontrollable, and I can't even switch the VT. I have to log in via serial port or SSH, just to kill that Xorg server (together with all the programs which were running with it). After doing that, the screen returns to the TTY and the input starts to work. I start Xorg from scratch then.
Is there any solution to the problem, other than enabling
AutoAddDevices disabled, because I have many input devices on my server, which mustn't all be added to my physical session.
The input devices I need are pre-configured in the xorg.conf.
