Maybe it'll help if I give you my setup, which does work. First the |
| 12 |
most dramatic difference is that I'm using ~amd64 and you're using |
| 13 |
x86, so there may be some fundamental version differences going on. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Hardware-wise, I use a USB US-English keyboard, a plain USB mouse with |
| 16 |
no special features other than 2 buttons and a wheel. I use |
| 17 |
nvidia-drivers for graphics (GeForce 9600 GT). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
x11-base/xorg-x11 I'm using is version 7.4 and xorg-server version |
| 20 |
1.6.2 with these USE flags enabled (and all others disabled): hal |
| 21 |
input_devices_evdev input_devices_joystick input_devices_keyboard |
| 22 |
input_devices_mouse kdrive nptl sdl video_cards_nv video_cards_nvidia |
| 23 |
video_cards_vesa xorg |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I have sys-apps/hal version 0.5.12_rc1-r6 with USE="X acpi crypt |
| 26 |
kernel_linux" and I have it in the DEFAULT runlevel. I also have |
| 27 |
app-misc/hal-info version 20090414 which contains FDI scripts for HAL. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
In /etc/make.conf I have this: INPUT_DEVICES="joystick keyboard mouse evdev" |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
My xorg.conf contains some stuff related to fonts, video driver and |
| 32 |
screens, but everything input-related is commented out. Also worth |
| 33 |
noting is the order of loading for different copies of xorg.conf in |
| 34 |
your system may take, as explained in "man xorg.conf". If you've got a |
| 35 |
stray config file somewhere, your changes might not even be taking |
| 36 |
effect because it could be reading a different file entirely. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I'm using kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r1, gcc 4.3.3-r2 and glibc-2.10.1. I am |
| 39 |
not using hardened. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
The profile I'm using is default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop |

Every time I recompile/upgrade xorg-server, I do this: |
| 171 |
sudo emerge -1 `qlist -I -C x11-drivers/` |
| 172 |
Which in my case includes these packages: |
| 173 |
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-185.18.14 |
| 174 |
x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.2 |
| 175 |
x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick-1.4.0 |
| 176 |
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2 |
| 177 |
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.4.0 |
| 178 |
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.1.12 |
| 179 |
x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-2.2.0 |
| 180 |
|
| 181 |
|
| 182 |
to rebuild the x11-drivers (without doing that, you can be stuck with |
| 183 |
the dead mouse/keyboard situation). After they rebuild, I quit X, |
| 184 |
"rmmod nvidia", then start X which will load the rebuilt |
| 185 |
nvidia-drivers module. |
| 186 |
|
| 187 |
Then I happily use my working Xorg :) |
