Simply deleting this line causes X to fail startup: |
| 47 |
<Xorg.0.log> |
| 48 |
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" |
| 49 |
Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
| 50 |
InputDevice section "Keyboard0" must have a Driver line. |
| 51 |
(EE) Problem parsing the config file |
| 52 |
(EE) Error parsing the config file |
| 53 |
</Xorg.0.log> |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Explicitly setting Driver to "evdev" (to both mouse and keyboard |
| 56 |
sections) doesn't fix the unexplained messages in Xorg.0.log. At least X |
| 57 |
manages to start, though. |

Found nothing so-far... |

I'm now noticing another problem: X's CPU usage sky-rockets when using |
| 67 |
input devices. Especially mouse: If I move my pointer around the screen, |
| 68 |
hovering over some windows in the process, I get >50% CPU in 'top'. |
