21 I have far more than I really use, but here is my list:
22
23 (**) FontPath set to:
24 /usr/share/fonts/corefonts/,
25 /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/,
26 /usr/share/fonts/baekmuk-fonts/,
27 /usr/share/fonts/freefonts/,
28 /usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera/,
29 /usr/share/fonts/urw-fonts/,
30 /usr/share/fonts/arphicfonts/,
31 /usr/share/fonts/terminus/,
32 /usr/share/fonts/misc/,
33 /usr/share/fonts/TTF/,
34 /usr/share/fonts/OTF,
35 /usr/share/fonts/Type1/,
36 /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,
37 /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,
38 /usr/share/fonts/misc/,
39 /usr/share/fonts/TTF/,
40 /usr/share/fonts/OTF,
41 /usr/share/fonts/Type1/,
42 /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,
43 /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/
44
45 The corefonts are the standard MS fonts used in Windows, which I actually use.

55 xf86-input-evdev is the important driver these days, not keyboard and mouse.
56 (FWIW, I also have /dev/input/mouse0 in addition to 'mice')
57
58 Do you have that installed, and is X using it? hal discovers the input
59 hardware, but then evdev takes over after that. I have no Input Sections
60 in xorg.conf and evdev works perfectly without them:
