Hi again,
some more input on this.
In Xorg.0.log i see:
(II) config/hal: Adding input device USB Receiver
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)
(II) config/hal: Adding input device AT Keyboard
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)
(The at part makes sense, i only have USB on this machine)
So i guess this is the problem and that a rebuild of gnome/X11 did not
help. It seems fairly close to the issues with hald/xorg.conf that we saw
the last time upgrading gnome.
What is actually the right config nowdays?
I have the following in xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen 1" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection
And in /etc/rc.conf:
bus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
Or does anyone have any hints on why a keyboard (that i'm currently
writing on...) don't work in X11/Gnome?
Any hints on debugging this?
/Chris
