Re: 7.2-STABLE X mouse keyboard issues
This can be the notorious HAL. If you dont need it for another reason you may compile x11-server again, but switch the hal-support off. Should work well then..

I have not created a /etx/X11/ config file yet. Do I need to do so? If so, what;s the best way? This may be the same problem I ran into 2 weeks ago. The latest builds of X have changed a few defaults. Notably, the man page for xorg.conf now suggests this. Option AllowEmptyInput boolean If enabled, don't add the standard keyboard and mouse drivers, if there are no input devices in the config file. Enabled by default if AutoAddDevices and AutoEnableDevices is enabled, oth- erwise disabled. If AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using the kbd, mouse or vmmouse driver are ignored. So by default, it now doesn't add input devices. I found that building a vestigal xorg.conf so I could change that back to no got me my input devices back. You may also want to change the DontZap option to get back the Ctrl-Alt-BS key sequence to exit the X server.

The Handbook has an up-to-date section on xorg configuration: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html I have not created a /etx/X11/ config file yet. Do I need to do so? With dbus and hal enabled, and one monitor, maybe not. Try it. If so, what;s the best way? Copy the previous xorg.conf, edit to take advantage of new xorg features or changes. You can use X -configure, but the only section that it does well is the Device section with all the commented options. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
