This worked. I had the syntax incorrect. however, I thought > this wasn't supposed to be necessar after the updates to hal on the > 27th? I hadn't tested it since then, but did just now. Removing keyboard and mouse entries and AllowEmptyInput and AutoAddDevices entries in ServerLayout did work... for a few seconds. Then it went back to keyboard input or mouse clicks ignored until the mouse is moved. That includes ctrl-alt-backspace. This is with hal-0.5.11_14 and moused enabled, tested on two different systems. Both have a USB and PS/2 mouse. So I'm sticking with explicitly declaring keyboard and mouse and AutoAddDevices Off for now. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
