Are your keyboard and mouse "InputDevice"s in xorg.conf configured to |
| 41 |
use the evdev driver, and does your "ServerLayout" section contain |
| 42 |
InputDevice lines to correctly point to those devices? I have had some |
| 43 |
weird problems with slim, but never trouble like you describe with plain |
| 44 |
X/twm. |
