Do you have hal running when you start X? (/etc/rc.d/hal start) <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 2:11 PM, David Rosenstrauch <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:darose@darose.net">darose@darose.net</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<br>
X starts, but keyboard and mouse are dead. &nbsp;The wiki page is really vague - I&#39;m not really sure what/how I&#39;m supposed to configure to make this work. &nbsp;It says I want to update the entries for things like input.xkb.layout, input.xkb.variant, input.xkb.rules, input.xkb.model, input.xkb.options, etc. in the 10-keymap.fdi file. &nbsp;But update them to what? &nbsp;I&#39;m not sure what the values should be. &nbsp;Also, that only explains keyboard. &nbsp;Why isn&#39;t mouse working?<br>

<br>
Xorg.0.log tells me:<br>
<br>
(II) Cannot locate a core pointer device.<br>
(II) Cannot locate a core keyboard device.<br>
(II) The server relies on HAL to provide the list of input devices.<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;If no devices become available, reconfigure HAL or disable AllowEmptyInput.<br>
<br>
<br>
I have these packages installed, and HAL running:<br>
<br>
xf86-input-evdev 2.0.7-1<br>
xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1<br>
xf86-input-mouse 1.3.0-1<br>
xf86-video-ati 6.9.0-5<br>
xf86-video-vesa 2.0.0-2<br>
<br>
<br>
Also, I can&#39;t currently disable hotplugging, since I don&#39;t have an xorg.conf file. &nbsp;(X has always been able to start fine without one; I believe it uses its own stock/internal one.) &nbsp;Do I really need to go through the pain of generating a conf file just to get this turned off??? &nbsp;There&#39;s got to be SOME way to get this to work.<br>

<br>
Help appreciated!<br><font color="#888888">
