I thought I was ready to rock and roll, but when I grabbed the mouse - it didn't move?? Then I tried typing my pw, and no characters (or dots) appeared? The I tried ctrl+alt+backspace to kill X -- no joy. Then ctrl+alt+F1, still no joy.
OK, ssh into box and kill kdm, back to normal login. Now I'm scratching my head on what to check to get my mouse and keyboard back? Any ideas?
From Xorg.0.log, this is obviously the problem:
(==) ModulePath set to "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled. (WW) Disabling Keyboard0 (WW) Disabling Mouse0
Huh? They must have been there a minute ago what gives?
I wonder how they got started last time?
Make sure to start D-Bus and HAL before you start KDM. In rc.conf: DAEMONS=( ... dbus hal kdm ... ) Kind regards, -- Bram Schoenmakers What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind. (Punch, 1855)
