[gentoo-user] X configuration problem

[gentoo-user] X configuration problem

[arnuld]

i ave installed X using "emerge X" and after hours of
download-compile-install cycle "startx" tells me that drivers named
"mouse" & "kbd" are not found. here is what i have done

1.) used "genkernel all" to compile my kernel.

2.) added these 2 to "/etc/make.conf"
       INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"
       VIDEO_CARDS="flrx vesa via vga v4l"

3.) emerge xorg-x11

4.) Xorg -configure.

5.) "xorg.conf" edited:

    "HorizSync & VertRefresh" added
    "/dev/mouse" changed to "/dev/input/mouse"

i got these errrors (not exact errors but something like them):

(EE) AGLRX: Screen0  is not DRI capable
(EE) driver "mouse" was not found
(EE) driver "kbd" was not found"

i checked "xorg.conf" & saw that Keyboard & Mouse sections use "kbd" &
"mouse" drivers respectively.

how to resolve this issue?

Try to # the DRI under modules and # at the end there might be a section for 
DRI

it should be /dev/input/mice

should be keyboard

Maybe there is something different on yours but it works here.  May give
you something to go by.

did you forget to add these to /etc/make.conf?

INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics"
VIDEO_CARDS="ati radeon vesa fbdev fglrx"

you may use a different set of drivers of course.  See google on these
for more info :)

Try emerging x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse and
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard

Should "flrx" above be "fglrx"?
