Is udev all set up correctly on the bad system? In particular, your
input devices need to have ID_INPUT and ID_INPUT_{MOUSE|KEYBOARD} set
in the environment. Try running udevadm info --query=all
--name=/dev/input/whatever. You can look in /proc/bus/input/devices
to see what device node you should be looking at.
I didn't do anything different for udev than on the other system. The
difference is that the keyboard is ps2.

Do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf on either system? Could you post the
full log on the failing system? Also -logverbose 5 (up to 10) will put
some extra info in the log.
I tried with and without /etc/X11/xorg.conf and with -logverbose 10.
With xorg 7.7, it doesn't appear to have 'mouse', 'keyboard', or 'kbd'
drivers. It only seems ot have 'evdev', 'joystick', and 'void'.
I tried adding
ection ServerFlags
Option AutoAddDevices Off
EndSection
to xorg.conf, but that didn't help. I'd post the Xorg log, but I don't
think it would be meaningful right now.
My last xorg.conf is below. I'm looking for suggestions.

I'll experiment with a new kernel and retry with evdev just to see if that works. If not, we might want to add a short note to the book.

As I told Ken, I got it working, but you bring up a point that we may need to examine. In the xorg-server section, we create: ln -s $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/xorg.conf.d /etc/X11 Perhaps I did that before I created /etc/X11. I'm not sure where it is created. I checked the book's xml and couldn't find it, so it should be in one of the 'make install' procedures. Xorg 7.6 creates it in xorg-apps: test -z /etc/X11/app-defaults || /bin/mkdir -p /etc/X11/app-defaults but not in Xorg 7.7.

[blfs-dev] xorg problems
I'm trying to get xorg to start up and have some strange problems. I build xorg on /opt/xorg. On my x86_64 system, there is no problem with xorg 7.6. On both systems I get: (==) ModulePath set to /opt/xorg/lib/X11/modules (II) The server relies on udev to provide the list of input devices. If no devices become available, reconfigure udev or disable AutoAddDevices.

I build xorg on /opt/xorg. On my x86_64 system, there is no problem
with xorg 7.6. On both systems I get:

/opt/xorg/lib/X11/modules/input/evdev_drv.so is on both systems.
Is udev all set up correctly on the bad system? In particular, your
input devices need to have ID_INPUT and ID_INPUT_{MOUSE|KEYBOARD} set
in the environment. Try running udevadm info --query=all
--name=/dev/input/whatever. You can look in /proc/bus/input/devices
to see what device node you should be looking at.
Do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf on either system? Could you post the
full log on the failing system? Also -logverbose 5 (up to 10) will put
some extra info in the log.
