Hazel,

I had the same problem and was able to fix it by adding the following line to my xorg.conf file.

Section "ServerFlags" Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" EndSection

I also found a second way to fix the problem. I needed to have hal running and enable input events in my kernel .config (and recompile the kernel). I hope this helps.

Mike Thanks, Mike. Your xorg.conf modification did the trick. I have disallowed both AutoAddDevices and AllowEmptyInput and the new server now works perfectly. I really don't want to complicate Crux's beautiful simplicity with all that hal stuff; I chose Crux to get away from that sort of thing. -- Hazel Russman <hazel_russman@yahoo.co.uk>
