Thanks. But i didn't use --disable-config-hal... It was set to the default

I guess i'll have to explicitely attempt to use the "--disable-config-hal" flag
next time I want to try a build.

I'm pretty sure HAL is disabled by configure if udev support is
detected.  Input hotplug requires one of the other, udev is preferred.

indeed that his the case (on linux). and configure will refuse to enable
both, but apparently it doesn't complain if you enabled neither. while a
potential use-case in theory, it's quite unlikely and we should warn the
user.


Heck, even with "--disable-config-hal" and "--enable-config-udev" the server 
doesn't like
it... I have no idea between 1.12 to 1.13.2 to refuse using udev...

Is it possible the 1.12 stack use a internal udev library for handling basic
input devices (keyboard/mouse) ?

nothing much has changed to the udev code since about server 1.8, so this is likely either a build-time failure or some change in your setup. Best to file a bug and attach your Xorg.log and the output of udevadm info --export-db

Cheers,

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by xorg-server configure 1.13.2, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

   $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-ipv6 --sysconfdir=/etc 
--localstatedir=/var --enable-config-udev --enable-maintainer-mode 
--disable-config-hal


Regards,

Etienne
