Hi,
This morning I updated xorg-server.
I reemerged nvidia-drivers and mouse and keyboard drievers as
suggested by einfo.
I started X and keyboard and mouse were dead - but sysrq-key works and
keyboard and mouse works on the console, so the problem is X not the
hardware.
I removed x86-input-evdev driver as suggested if keyboard is dead,
but this does not help.
My xorg.conf for the relevant sections is as follows:
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
# Option "Protocol" "NetMousePS/2"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
# Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.
# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"
# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.
# Option "BaudRate" "9600"
# Option "SampleRate" "150"
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
Option "ChordMiddle"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
# For most OSs the protocol can be omitted (it defaults to "Standard").
# When using XQUEUE (only for SVR3 and SVR4, but not Solaris),
# uncomment the following line.
# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
Option "LeftAlt" "Meta"
Option "RightAlt" "ModeShift"
Option "ScrollLock" "Compose"
Option "RightCtl" "Control"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:win_switch,ctrl:nocaps,compose:rwin"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# These are the default XKB settings for XFree86
# Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
# Option "XkbLayout" "us"
# Option "XkbVariant" ""
# Option "XkbOptions" ""
# Option "XkbDisable"
Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection
# **********************************************************************
# ServerLayout sections.
# **********************************************************************
# Any number of ServerLayout sections may be present. Each describes
# the way multiple screens are organised. A specific ServerLayout
# section may be specified from the X server command line with the
# "-layout" option. In the absence of this, the first section is used.
# When now ServerLayout section is present, the first Screen section
# is used alone.
Section "ServerLayout"
# After 20 minutes of idle time: Shutdown
Option "OffTime" "20"
# The Identifier line must be present
Identifier "Simple Layout"
# Each Screen line specifies a Screen section name, and optionally
# the relative position of other screens. The four names after
# primary screen name are the screens to the top, bottom, left and right
# of the primary screen. In this example, screen 2 is located to the
# right of screen 1.
Screen "Screen 1"
# Each InputDevice line specifies an InputDevice section name and
# optionally some options to specify the way the device is to be
# used. Those options include "CorePointer", "CoreKeyboard" and
# "SendCoreEvents".
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Since the box is dead after starting X (I only can reboot
with sysrq keys) I see no way of retrieving a logfile
for the xorg-server.
How can I get back a functional X?
Thank you very much in advance!
Kind regards,
Meino Cramer
