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"
Hi James, did you try this in xorg.conf? : Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" EndSection Cheers Volker -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: James Mills <prologic@shortcircuit.net.au> Gesendet: 14.06.2010 07:04:03 An: crux@lists.crux.nu Betreff: Xorg keyboard/mouse

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
