Post subject: xorg-server 1.5 lost keyboard and mouse
Archived from groups: alt>os>linux>gentoo (more info?)

I allowed portage to upgrade my system to xorg-server 1.5 and now I
have lost all input.
I did some googling, but things are still not working right.
xorg's log file says it is now using evdev for input. It seems to be
ignoring my old serverlayout.
Two things broken with evdev:
1) hal didn't find keyboard or mouse
/etc/hal/fdi/policy is empty
I copied /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi
to /etc/hal/fdi/policty
2) xorg can't find evdev driver. WTF do I have an xorg server
that insists on using evdev yet doesn't include it? I couldn't find a
use flag to control wether evdev is built.
from the tail of /var/log/X*0.log:
(II) config/hal: Adding input device AT Translated Set 2 keyboard
(II) LoadModule: "evdev"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module evdev
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
(EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No input driver matching evdev'
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed |

Evdev needs two things: 1) kernel support (Input device support ---> <*>
Event interface) and 2) the x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev package installed.
Also, using HAL for this is purely optional. I'm not using it and
continue to manually specify mouse and keyboard settings in xorg.conf.
My setup is the following (you might want to adjust or ignore some of
the settings; the crucial part here is the "AutoAddDevices" "false"
option which disables HAL for keyboard and mouse):
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "microsoftinet"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event4"
Option "AccelerationProfile" "2"
Option "AdaptiveDeceleration" "2"
Option "FilterHalflife" "5"
Option "VelocityCoupling" "0.15"
Option "FilterChainLength" "8"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
# ...
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection |

1: It doesn't insist on it, it only insists on it if you pass "hal" as a
USE flag when building xorg-server.
2: It's a kernel module, so it can't include it.
Anyhow, this is explained in the notes that "emerge --sync" tells you to
read before upgrading Xorg to 1.5, on the pain of otherwise your system stop
working, you house burning down, your kitten being eaten, and your sister
dating P. Diddy.
If you missed it, try "eselect news read all". It will lead you to the
upgrade guide.
Regards,

I read the news and followed the link. It didn't help. It said
nothing about hal devices missing.
BTW: I have the kernel module already. xorg doesn't load kernel
modules and it's own evdev module is missing. |

Thanks for the input. That worked for me too (using event3 though).
I don't get the nVidia logo anymore. I did re-emerge nvidia-drivers,
but still no logo. How can I be sure I'm still using the nVidis driver? |

$ grep -i module /var/log/X*0.log | grep -i nvidia

OK, So it looks like nVidia is alive and well. So why did the logo
disappear? Can I get it back (I kinda like it)? |
