Also, I cannot find AllowEmptyInput in > xorg.conf(5) now, is it removed? Don't know about the latest xorg. The best explanation of AEI that I could get is in that article under What AllowEmptyInput Really Means: Option "AllowEmptyInput" "On" means the server may start without any input devices. Option "AllowEmptyInput" "Off" means the server must have configured input devices at startup. Later versions of xorg may have removed it, or merely removed it from the man page.
