X config issues, mouse & keyboard do not respond on startup.

[ladeh_k]

Today I rebuilt my slackbox. I have tried 'X -configure', then starting X with the config it generates, when I do this I get a mess on the screen and the mouse and keyboard do not work.

 

I have my old XF86Config and also the new generated xorg.conf but I'm not sure how to compare them or what to change, as I am still relatively noob.

 

They are as follows:XF86Config.txtxorg.conf.new.txt

 

Any insight into what the problem is would be much appreciated, I'm keen to get this baby up and running!

 

Thanking you... In anticipation...

Here's the log.

 

 

Xorg.0.log.txt

 

I had previously tried to point X to the old XFree config but it doesnt like it. If you look down the bottom of the log, I tried again just so you could see for yourself.

 

Thanks.

ahhaa - it appears that your mouse works with whatever config file you just pointed Xorg to.

 

however the current kernel, i believee have removed support for teh legacy "keyboard driver" - - try replacing the line for the driver "keyboard" with

 

Driver "kbd" ....

 

it's

 

 

 

after this is fixed. you'll wanna replace the graphics driver...

 

just ignore this for.... let's focus on getting X up and running :-)

There are a couple of sections in there that I have put "options" on :)

 

Like:

Code:

Device "VESA Framebuffer"
#Device "nvidia0"

 

You can switch from the basic driver (vesa) to the nvidia driver (nv) by commenting the first line and uncommenting the second.

 

Also:

Code:

Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
#Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

 

If your mouse doesn't work, switch those and see if it does then :)

 

There is also some extra options with the Monitor and Keyboard, that aren't required but could be useful for tuning.

 

Anyway, hope that helps ladeh_k :)
