I think it is because we are step by step going to use HAL. The X server in nixpkgs/trunk takes the configuration from hal, and about the keyboard/mouse, it uses the generic 'evdev' driver, instead of the usual old keyboard or mouse drivers.
I don't know how much this helps. :) For the resolution, you may need to tweak hal (nixos is not much comfortable for that, yet), or specify that in your resolution configuration. 2009/4/29 Marco Maggesi <[email protected]>: > > But I'm not done yet...
