Hi Shawn
I would first try to figure why is this error in the logs.
(EE) XKB: No components provided for device Virtual core keyboard
I think only errors stop the X to start. The one you show are warnings.
Regards,
Francisco
Thanks Francisco, I hadn't noticed this. When I use the options
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
and have hald running, I then get the following errors:
(II) config/hal: Adding input device AT Keyboard
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)
(II) config/hal: Adding input device PS/2 Mouse
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)
(II) UnloadModule: "mouse"
(II) UnloadModule: "kbd"
When looking at my running processes, there are 3 hal-related
processes:
hald-runner
hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse: /dev/psm0
hald-addon-storage: /dev/acd0
So now I have both dbus & hald running, and I am using the two X
options stated above. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Shawn

Hi, I've seen several posts with similar issues, but none of them have
helped me resolve my own. I am using 7.2-RELEASE on my laptop with an Intel
i915 graphics card. My problem is that Xorg refuses to start (most of the
time) and posts an error in the log:
drmDropMaster failed: Unknown Error -1
I have gotten X to start on occasion, but I've never been able to get
fluxbox to start. The command "Xorg -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf -retro"
always works correctly.
xorg.conf: [3][4]http://pastebin.com/f44c3bfa1
Xorg.0.log: [4][5]http://pastebin.com/f22d7e99c
dmesg output: [5][6]http://pastebin.com/f7d02e787
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Try this: [6][7]http://www.dev-urandom.com/user/xorg.php
I didn't realize you had 'AutoAddDevices' in ServerLayout at first..
Still, give "AllowEmptyInput" "off" a shot.
Thanks for the quick responses:
@Glen:
I went ahead and gave it a try - to no avail. Ironically, I have
never had any of the mouse/keyboard issues that people have complained
about. My issue is that I just can't get X to start - it appears the
drm driver is failing on me.
@Francisco:
I already have both hald and dbus loading in rc.conf. All of my
packages have been compiled from ports.
