lost control
Often I loose control, especially on use of slider. The slider moves from itself, display is moving up and down from itself. also the focus is moving from one to another object in region of cursor's position. I suppose the reason is in one process, but which one?

georg35, Try adding this option to Section "ServerFlags".
Code:
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
Good luck. ;-)
