I had better post to the lists exactly what I did, having thrown that encouraging word out: Ensure the files section doesn't contain anything like RGBPath if you've upgraded, then add Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False" and Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" to the server layout section in xorg.conf. Then create a file ${LOCALBASE}/etc/hal/fdi/policy/x11-input.fdi with the following contents: gb Restart hald etc. This cleared up all issues of not playing nice with moused, missing keyboards and quotemarks on my @ key ;o) Obviously, you'll want to replace "gb" with whatever layout you require from ${LOCALBASE}/share/X11/xkb/symbols/. Note I have not tried hotplugging a USB mouse on this configuration. That's to come on the laptop, which works fine with its trackpad (although middle and right clicks have been redefined to three and two finger taps respectively - it was the other way around) with the updated xf86-input-synaptics driver. Which brings me to another little niggle: > Thanks a lot! You're very welcome. Best regards, -- Matt Dawson MTD15-RIPE matt@chronos.org.uk
