52 I included the extra class specification xorg-server-18 needs for
53 recognizing mouse and keyboard. Useflags, kernelversion und udev
54 match also.
55 But I get an error in the Xorg-logfile:
56
57 [ 2805.694] (II) Initializing extension GLX

71
72
73
74 "Inappropiate ioctl" looks like some version mismatch between kernel
75 interface and ... what?
76
77 udev is recompiled after installation of xorg-server and the kernel
78 was not changed after that installation...
79
80 I simply dont know whats failing there...
