I should have said *I* don't need an Input device section any more :) |

Actually I moved some of my custom stuff from xorg.conf to the hal config |
| 23 |
files -- but hal is deprecated now and I should it back to xorg.conf again. |
| 24 |
Thanks for the reminder. |

See my comment above. Don't use the "kbd" driver. Xorg seems to use evdev by default now |
| 60 |
instead of "kbd" and "mouse". |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
The (**) means that X is reading those lines from xorg.conf. Are you sure you are really |
| 63 |
using the new xorg.conf and not the old one by mistake? Xorg.log tells you which conf file |
| 64 |
it is reading. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
> Also, X complains "(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/" does not exist.", I actually removed that reference from /etc/x11/xorg.conf. Yes it still insists on reading it. |

Depending on your configuration, there may be some font and/or keyboard stuff in your own |
| 71 |
home directory. You may need to search or grep some subdirectories to find it if it's not |
| 72 |
obvious. |
