Xorg keyboard/mouse

Hi all, I'm sorry about this, but I'm at a complete loss. Everything I've tried gets me nowhere. Problem: keyboard and mouse do not work in X There seem to be no noticeable errors in the X logs. Where do I start ? I've tried: * recompiling xorg-server * recompiling xorg-server then xorg-xf86-input-evdev * recompiling all of xorg (prt-get quickdep xorg) * recompiling hal * ensuring hald is running * recompiling udev * ensuring udev is running cheers James -- -- "Problems are solved by method"
