Hallo,
I'm not much of a GUI person, so the question might be simple, but I
have no idea where to search, so please bear with me ;)
I have successfully compiled a BLFS subset with X11, some Gnome
applications, firefox and thunderbird.
When I try "startx" as a user I get the basic graphics screen with xterm
and xclock (I found some xinitrc where this is defined), but no input.
Keyboard and mouse do not work. I ssh'ed to the machine and killed the X
processes.
In Xorg.log I found that X11 cannot handle my KVM switch. This is a
convenient piece of hardware to multiplex my private and work machines
with one keyboard, mouse and sound output. It has one USB cable to each
PC and identifies itself as "hidraw" USB type.
Naïvely I assumed that the usbhid module is enough to provide also X11
input. Seems I'm wrong, but I have no idea what to put in which
configuration file. Also, I have no idea why X11 reports 3 input devices
although I can and have only keyboard and mouse connected.
This is the list of error messages:
[ 1275.784] (II) config/udev: Adding input device C&CTECH Semiconductor

Tschau...Thomas
