[parisc-linux] Mouse stops working when exiting KDE

Well IIRC, at this time I encounter a problem with Xfree86 config (a 
change in stifb (kernel 2.4.9-pa57) required that the screen mode match 
exactly the hw definition) but it was also the first time that I test 
xdm (previously I only used startx).
