I can't get the i915 log unless I remove th nvidia card. I'm not sure this is worth trouble shooting. It isn't to me, but if you want me to, I'll do it. > This is an Intel G45 or something?

I don't know how fast they develop. If you mean Keyboard-Mouse-System, what I have now is: (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled. (WW) Disabling Mouse0 (WW) Disabling Keyboard0 and later: (**) USB Optical Mouse: always reports core events (**) USB Optical Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/event3" (II) USB Optical Mouse: Found 3 mouse buttons (II) USB Optical Mouse: Found x and y relative axes (II) USB Optical Mouse: Found scroll wheel(s) (II) USB Optical Mouse: Configuring as mouse (**) USB Optical Mouse: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 (**) USB Optical Mouse: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200 (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "USB Optical Mouse" (type: MOUSE) (**) USB Optical Mouse: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1 (**) USB Optical Mouse: (accel) filter chain progression: 2.00 (**) USB Optical Mouse: (accel) filter stage 0: 20.00 ms (**) USB Optical Mouse: (accel) set acceleration profile 0 (II) USB Optical Mouse: initialized for relative axes.

I then tried startx and it worked. It's possible that trying startx with the i915 driver might have worked, but I never tried it. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
