Hi James,
did you try this in xorg.conf? :
Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" EndSection
tilman actually helped me solve this on IRC just now. (Thank you). But I'll share what the problem was: For some reason on my system (maybe because of an older kernel?) I have /dev/event* devices. the 10-evdev.conf file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ expects the input devices to be in /dev/input/event* (which they are not on my system). I'm tempoarily fixed the problem b y manually editing this file. I'm also going to upgrade to a later kernel (2.6.30.5) and try to ensure I've compiled all the right things in. cheers James
