You are trying to use the kbd and mouse drivers, instead of letting HAL take care of it. Either add AllowEmptyInput =3D "false" or remove/comment the mouse and keyboard sections of xorg.conf. Or even move xorg.conf out of the way and let xorg work it out for itself. --=20 Neil Bothwick Don't just do something, sit there! --Sig_/SZYm+FLvWKsTyN5_md9GmDk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkpeA+8ACgkQum4al0N1GQNzbwCeIyFM1mz0LphsDB+AQ9GoJ87u RzQAoNNAO2myvq4wT93PSdwYWwsYCRuF =r2rm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/SZYm+FLvWKsTyN5_md9GmDk--
