Re: [arch-general] Crud! Rebooted Can't Login - No Mouse or Keyboard with kdm??

Make sure to start D-Bus and HAL before you start KDM. In rc.conf:

DAEMONS=( ... dbus hal kdm ... )

Kind regards,

Don't put "dbus" in your DAEMONS, hal starts dbus for you.

From the Arch wiki page on HAL: "When HAL initializes it will check for the presence of D-Bus and load it automatically. If you have dbus in your list of daemons, remove it, since it can cause problems."
