Hi,
I have just built XORG 7.7using BLFS-systemd development version
02-24-2016. The LFS version is systemd-7.9-rc2.
I built the XORG system and build the event driver including all of its
dependencies and the Nouveau driver. I brought up the X-Windows desktop
using startx. The video works fine and I get the desktop with 5h3 three
X terms, the clock, etc. However, neither the mouse nor the keyboard
work. I had to kill startx from an ssh session to shutdown the X-Windows
desktop, This rang a bell. My first though was that one of devices had a
security problem, but when I used root to bring up X-windows, I got the
same result. I then used Google and found the problem described for
Arch-Linux (my usual go-to for configuration when I'm bringing up
software not described by LFS/BLFS). This gave me the answer. I needed
the event driver configuration
file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf]
Since I was building this sytem from a BLFS-systemd-7.8 system (kinda
since that was/is only in the current development branch), I had an
existing file that I had gotten before and adding it to my new system
fixed the problem.
The comment that starts the files is that its necessary for any
udev-based system.
So, while my problem is solved, I think the book needs to be updated to
supply such a file or at least instructions for creating that file.
I usually use the config file shipped with the evdev driver and automatically
installed as /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf (with just one
modification for the French keyboard) and it works. Did you have to change
that file and install another one?
I don't need the 10-evdev.conf file. If you look at the Xorg log, it says
it cannot load the evdev_drv.so file. For me it is at
/opt/xorg/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so, but the system could not
find the libraries that it needs. A simple ldconfig fixed that. You did
update /etc/ld.so.conf, right?
Look at the first note:
