17 from your log...
18 (II) Cannot locate a core pointer device.
19 (II) Cannot locate a core keyboard device.
20 (II) The server relies on HAL to provide the list of input devices.
21 If no devices become available, reconfigure HAL or disable AllowEmptyInput.
22
23 I know very little about how to prod HAL into shape, but I get the
24 feeling it's where you'll find your problem... as a start... is HAL
25 running when you start X?
