Yes. And the behavior is quite justified for a server class OS. The OS didnt halt, did it? It prevented XOrg from starting so that further complications could be avoided. I know it may not be the best way to tell the user that you shuold replace the mouse but still... :P
The OS didn't halt. It prevented the X from starting. But I see this as a *big* problem for not so, technically inclined users. In Windows, usually, Windows 98 would pop up a message saying the mouse isn't detected or something of that sort. However, the normal user still has the GUI and can find out some way to work out. Redhat Linux 9.0, left only the konsole to run, leaving a normal user helpless.
