I guess you don't have one! Take a look here [1] for a documented example. If you want xorg-server and hal working you need: xorg-server built with hal use flag and evdev as input-device. comment out the input sections in xorg.conf. a fdi file placed at /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi (basically the configuration done in xorg.conf prior is now done in this file) [1] http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/config/x11-input.fdi -- Regards, Daniel
