A few people are doing that, what? and why? including me why another one? exactly, why? CRUX fits all my needs, as a desktop, workstation, server, etc. Why you need to do a fork? Just use another ports tree and surely it will do all you need.

'Helt enkelt' as they say in Sweden - piece of cake to get it installed and running. My system is an SiS-one, so compiling was a bit more dedicated. startx brought up a screen straight away, though I need to spend a bit more time ti find out why neither keyboard nor mouse worked in any of the 3 subscreens. Couldn't even use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. Tom Butz, New Zealand.

It might be helpful. From the arch of the list: did you try this in xorg.conf? : 1) Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" EndSection 2) 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.

Please read http://lists.crux.nu/pipermail/crux/2008-November/008688.html to see if you can your X work properly. My config looks like this (I have xorg-xf86-input-evdev installed): ,---- [ /etc/xorg.conf (snippet) ] | Section "ServerLayout" | Identifier "X.org Configured" | Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 | InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" | InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" | Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" | EndSection | | # (...) | | Section "InputDevice" | Identifier "Keyboard0" | Driver "evdev" | Option "Model" "pc105" | #Option "Layout" "de" | Option "_layout" "de" | EndSection | | # (...) `---- regards, Thomas -- we just switched to FDDI.
