Both the keyboard and mouse were non-functional before I added the /etc/X11/xorg.conf code to disable autoadddevice and installed the old keyboard and mouse drivers. Also, from a comparison of the 32-bit Xorg.0.log, it looks like some video functionality is not being added due to the lack of evdev driver. How would I go about using strace to check where the xorg-server is looking for 10-evdev.conf? --- John -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
