[gentoo-user] Re: X crashes with nvidia-173 driver-RESOLVED

 (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or
 'vmmouse' will be disabled.
 (WW) Disabling Mouse1
 (WW) Disabling Keyboard1

LOL! It wasn't a crash. It just seemed like it because the mouse and
kbd were disabled.

Apparently, the above is the default!?!?

The line 'Option  AllowEmptyInput  no' must be added to the server
section of xorg.conf.

BTW, what is the purpose of two module dirs /lib/modules/uname/video
and /usr/lib/xorg/modules
for the nvidia drivers. Are they both being used? Which is the correct
one to use in xorg.conf?

This is a kernel module

 and /usr/lib/xorg/modules

This is a userspace X module

 for the nvidia drivers. Are they both being used? Which is the correct

Two very different things
