After doing an image-update from build 129 to 133, I'm finding my old
system for starting X fails now.
I usually run with gdm disabled and rely on startx to get X up when I
need it, so have a console login.
I've been starting X with:
startx /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session
By-passing gdm altogether... I've had many problems with the graphical
login, that have persisted over many builds so have come to this system over
time.
After booting into the new b133, my system fails with all these warnings
and errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or
'vmmouse' will be disabled.

I never did understand the X startup on osol and have no real clue
what might be happening here. There must have been some changes in
how it works between the two builds (129-133)
I'm checking now if just enabling gdm will work now, but don't have
much hope since it doesn't bring on a graphical login from the
console, which it should when enabled I think... but still trying a
reboot with gdm running.
Well, that didn't work at all. I see gdm trying over and over but
just keeps popping back to console login which cannot be used because
every few seconds it gdm trying again.
Finally gdm apparently gives up... and console login works, so not
able to get to X that way either.
