Not sure what this is. You might want to comment this out of your config
file then see what X spits out in the log file once its done. Usually
there is a load of information about loading mouse and keyboard drivers.

Best make a bootdisk before you do (if the suse install cd doesn't act
as a rescue disk as well). Just in case it goes awry. :)
