Do you have evdev installed? Without it, you probably won't have any |
| 9 |
keyboard or mouse. Recent xorg made dramatic changes to the way |
| 10 |
hardware is detected/configured by using HAL and evdev. xorg.conf is |
| 11 |
basically unused now when it comes to configuring hardware. I don't |
| 12 |
even have keyboard or mouse, or video modelines or anything like that |
| 13 |
in mine. Search the list archives or the gentoo web forums, there are |
| 14 |
many many people who had the same issues (assuming it's the cause of |
| 15 |
yours). |
