Bug#498079: xserver-xorg-core: No input when starting xserver without configuration file

That's precious information, thanks. 1.4 adds default input devices when running without a configuration. That was changed in 1.5 in favour of input-hotplug. Unfortunately enabling x11-input.fdi by default needs some work to transition the input device parameters (in particular keyboard layouts) from xorg.conf to the hal configuration, and we haven't had time to do that yet, which is why it's disabled at the moment. I understand. Xorg 1.5 is not planned for Lenny, AFAIK, so it's not urgent. I think this bug can be closed, but it's up to you. Thank you so much for your help! -- The Thought Police are here.

Dear Julien, thank you for the quick answer. I did what you suggested and at first it did not work, however upon closer inspection of the log I noticed that I didn't have xserver-xorg-input-evdev installed. After installing that package everything is working, included the USB mouse. However, the layout chosen in gdm is wrong (I have a swiss-german keyboard, and the layout seems to be US): this is obviously a big problem, especially when typing a password. Is there any way to fix that? 3D performance is fine; I cannot try an external monitor right now, but I somehow expect everything to do the right thing. Anyway, shouldn't that file be in /etc/hal/fdi/policy by default? The config-less operation of the xserver was one of the strong selling points of version 1.4. It is definitely hard to figure out what's missing, without help.

Bug#498079: xserver-xorg-core: No input when starting xserver without configuration file
Package: xserver-xorg-core Version: 2:1.5.0-1 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line *** Hello there, I was trying out the new xserver 1.5 and found this problem: when I start the xserver without an xorg.conf file, the server comes up fine but without keyboard support. The only input that works is the synaptics touchpad. It seems that the autoconfiguration forgets about the keyboard input. A usb mouse is also not used. By using the below included xorg.conf everything works just fine. I cannot test further the config-less server without logging in :) Please note that the xorg.0.log is the one relative to the config-less start, and NOT the one relative to this server start.
