Hello, I installed MATE according to the quick install guide on the googlecode page.Everything went well and the MATE desktop starts.But then the mouse and keyboard are not working.As I start in runlevel 3 the prompt the keyboard is working fine. I enabled config-udev in the kernel. Anyone a idea how to fix this ? Roelof
Probably it's xorg related problem. I had the same, but I ain't use MATE.
The probable solution, as described here http://lists.crux.nu/pipermail/crux/2008-November/008688.html is to either set AllowEmptyInput to false in your xorg.conf, or switch to the xf86-input-evdev driver for your keyboard and mouse.
Hope this helps.
