Having major probs after the upgrade to the latest X w/hotplugging.
X starts, but keyboard and mouse are dead. The wiki page is really vague - I'm not really sure what/how I'm supposed to configure to make this work. It says I want to update the entries for things like input.xkb.layout, input.xkb.variant, input.xkb.rules, input.xkb.model, input.xkb.options, etc. in the 10-keymap.fdi file. But update them to what? I'm not sure what the values should be. Also, that only explains keyboard. Why isn't mouse working?
Xorg.0.log tells me:
(II) Cannot locate a core pointer device.
(II) Cannot locate a core keyboard device.
(II) The server relies on HAL to provide the list of input devices.
If no devices become available, reconfigure HAL or disable AllowEmptyInput.
I have these packages installed, and HAL running:
xf86-input-evdev 2.0.7-1
xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1
xf86-input-mouse 1.3.0-1
xf86-video-ati 6.9.0-5
xf86-video-vesa 2.0.0-2
Also, I can't currently disable hotplugging, since I don't have an xorg.conf file. (X has always been able to start fine without one; I believe it uses its own stock/internal one.) Do I really need to go through the pain of generating a conf file just to get this turned off??? There's got to be SOME way to get this to work.
Help appreciated!
