I'm sure you meant livecd-stage1, and yes.  You should do all of your
configuration in your fsscript.

[gentoo-catalyst] mkxf86config mouse detection

[Ted Kosan]

First, thanks again for the help I received on getting a Java VM on a LiveCD
configured correctly :-)

The next problem I am encountering involves mkxf86config ( version 0.9.7 ) not
detecting the mouse when it generates the xorg.conf file.


Here is what mkxf86config places in the ServerLayout section of the xorg.conf
file it generates:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "X.Org Configured"
        Screen  0       "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice     "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
# PS/2 Mouse not detected
#       InputDevice     "Serial Mouse" "AlwaysCore"
# USB Mouse not detected
#No Synaptics touchpad found
EndSection


And for comparison, here is what "Xorg -configure" places in the ServerLayout
section of the xorg.conf file:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection


I have tested mkxf86config on three laptop machines and it did not detect the
touchpad/mouse nor a USB mouse on any of them.


Does anyone have some ideas on what I should try next?

Thanks in advance,

I am pretty sure I know the problem.

Yeah.  I don't care what X -configure says.  It works *so* totally
differently that they aren't even comparable.  You probably don't have
"hwsetup" installed.

Check the contents of your /etc/sysconfig directory (on the booted
LiveCD) and see if it detects your mouse.  If it doesn't neither will
mkxf86config.

No problem... glad I can help.  =]
