15 This pretty much explains it. You are trying to use the kbd and mouse
16 drivers, instead of letting HAL take care of it. Either add
17 AllowEmptyInput = "false" or remove/comment the mouse and keyboard
18 sections of xorg.conf. Or even move xorg.conf out of the way and let
19 xorg work it out for itself.
