I have had mouse, keyboard and synaptics along with evdev in my
INPUT_DEVICES and have emerged relative drivers. I am now going to
remove them and see what gives.
I know nothing about the synaptics driver, so be careful about deleting
it. Maybe rename it instead of deleting it?
Nope, unmerged it and deleted it from make.conf, then when I emerged
xf86-video-ati and evdev all other drivers (mouse, keyboard,
synaptics) were brought in as well.
I am not clear which /etc/hal/fdi/policy/* files I should have in
there ... any ideas?
That depends on what hardware you have -- a lot of the stuff that once
went into xorg.conf can be put in an fdi file now.
Here is an example:
Thanks for that.
I tried the startx trick. I recall that this would launch my WM
(fluxbox), but now all I get is an X session with twm! Has something
changed with /etc/rc.conf? Where should I specify fluxbox?
No /var/log/xdm.log or other errors were there this time. Trying to
start xdm and I keep getting the same old errors:
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server (:0.0)
and
(EE) XKB: No components provided for device Virtual core keyboard.
I am running out of things to try now. I don't have a recent enough
back up otherwise I would roll back this bad experience.
I haven't been following this thread a whole lot but this may help. Do
a emerge -epv world and see if you see any changes there. It may be a
USE flag change or it may be something else that you notice. It's just
a pretend so it shouldn't take but a few minutes. May need to use
'less' or 'more' to scroll through the output easier.
I hope that shows something that will help.
