[opensuse-factory] After update to RC2 - X11: Keyboard and Mouse deactivated
Hi and Moin, after upgrading my HP nc6400 notebook with intel graphics driver from openSUSE 11.1 to openSUSE 11.2 RC2 I had the problem, that keyboard and mouse were deactivated after starting KDM or GDM. So, I couldn't login to KDE. The following error appeared in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled. (WW) Disabling Keyboard[0] (WW) Disabling Mouse[1] This happened with the following settings in xorg.conf (working in openSUSE 11.1): Section "InputDevice" Driver "kbd" ... Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Even after removing xorg.conf keyboard and mouse were deactivated. And the same after starting sax2. After googling for a solution I found this thread: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-April/045418.html It seems to be a problem with HAL. So, I configured the evdev driver in xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Driver "evdev" ... Section "InputDevice" Driver "evdev" and installed the HAL policy file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/x11-input.fdi from http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-April/045418.html. After restarting HAL, keyboard and mouse were working in X11. However, to double-check the problem I removed both changes (HAL file and driver back to kbd and mouse). After restarting the system (init 0) I had no more problems with keyboard and mouse, even though the config was the same than before when I had the problems. And the "AllowEmptyInput is on" warning is still existing. Very strange.

I have upgraded my computer from 11.1 to 11.2 RC2+latest bits and I had the same problem; I couldn't use the keyboard or mouse as they were deactivated, so I looked into the issue and I made one change # Uncomment the following option to reenable kbd/mouse driver input sections. # Otherwise evdev driver is used. Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" I uncommented the above line, and voilà, now I can use the keyboard and mouse again. Cheers, Javier
