fyi, both .org and .info bring up same page.
BTW, have you visited the new clubhouse yet?
i find nothing about 'clubhouse'.

It is a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B 1GB. ok. before sending, i decided to boot to level 2 to try a few things and refresh my chemo brain. i logged in as user, move thumb marble ball, cursor block moved around on screen. next, "sudo gpm -k" to kill gpm, moved marble ball, no cursor block movement. therefore, i conclude that _gpm_ must be running for mouse to work in level 3 console terminal. oops. failed to check what happens running "X". back in a few. ;-) ok, repeated above, same results. not that they would change. ;-) next, "sudo startx kde". desktop manager appeared, so did mouse pointer and it moved when i move marble ball. in a virtual terminal, mouse moves and highlights. when i open a console terminal, no mouse movement. need for mouse movement is so that 'drag and paste" will work with console terminal. conclusion: gpm require for mouse movement in non "X" terminal. mouse works in kde without gpm active. what or how all this relates to you problems, not sure, but you at least know what happens on 1 user's system. :-) something strange that i am noticing, keyboard indicator for "Num Lock" goes out and "Scroll Lock" indicator keeps going on an off. i will reboot again without level 3 to see if problem goes away. in a few... back again. "Num Lock" indicator is staying on, "Scroll Lock" indicator is not lighting.

It seems something is botched in my attempt to shoe horn > X into the system? That's weird. I installed a minimal F21 using netinstall from the server version, and did exactly what you have done - bolted X on. I don't use a greeter, though, just a script to startx with the flavor of window environment I want. I never see a password prompt when starting X. It starts as the user I have logged in as on the console. I use a .Xkbmap file in my ~ directory to select the keymapping since I use a custom mapping. I had to put that mapping in the proper directory under X, of course, so X could find it. Here's the script if you want to try it instead of the greeter / window manager. I used to be able to run on vt10 prior to F21, so I could look at console 1 for X messages while it was running. But something changed in F21, and this no longer works, but hangs forever. I haven't got around to tracing why. Probably something in the way consoles are managed by systemd changed. This is old, so not sure if all the options work still. I know that gnome, kde, xfce, mate, cinnamon, xterm, fvwm and lxde do. #! /bin/bash #X Window Manager Chooser Script # run the default common X initialization scripts # By using ~/.Xclients instead of ~/.xinitrc # this is run automatically #source /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common XCLIENTS=/home/$USER/.Xclients echo '*** Replacing existing ~/.Xclients or creating new one.' echo '#! /bin/bash' > $XCLIENTS echo ' ' >> $XCLIENTS chmod +x $XCLIENTS if[ "$1" = fb ]; then echo 'exec startfluxbox' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'Starting Fluxbox...' elif[ "$1" = ob ]; then echo 'exec openbox-session' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'Starting Openbox...' elif[ "$1" = fv ]; then echo 'exec fvwm' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'Starting FVWM...' elif [ "$1" = en ]; then echo 'xset b off s 1 -dpms &' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'exec enlightenment_start' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'Starting Enlightenment (E17)...' elif [ "$1" = lx ]; then echo 'exec startlxde' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'Starting X with LXDE...' elif [ "$1" = xf ]; then echo 'exec startxfce4' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'Starting X with XFCE...' elif [ "$1" = xt ]; then echo 'exec xterm' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'Starting X with xterm...' elif [ "$1" = kd ]; then echo 'STARTKDE="$(type -p startkde)"' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'exec $STARTKDE' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'Starting X with KDE...' elif [ "$1" = gn ]; then echo 'GSESSION="$(type -p gnome-session)"' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'exec $GSESSION' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'Starting X with Gnome...' elif [ "$1" = ma ]; then echo 'MSESSION="$(type -p mate-session)"' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'exec $MSESSION' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'Starting X with MATE...' elif [ "$1" = ci ]; then echo 'CSESSION="$(type -p cinnamon-session-cinnamon2d)"' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'exec $CSESSION' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'Starting X with cinnamon...' elif [ "$1" = li ]; then # echo 'exec dm-tool --session-bus switch-to-user stan lightdm' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'exec dm-tool switch-to-user stan lightdm &' >> $XCLIENTS # echo 'exec dm-tool switch-to-greeter lightdm' >> $XCLIENTS # echo 'exec dm-tool add-local-x-seat 10 switch-to-greeter lightdm' >> $XCLIENTS echo 'Starting X with lightdm...' else echo -e "\n" echo -e "\n" echo Hello, $USER\!

No mouse in Fedora 21 -
I've installed Fedora-21 Minimal, that comes without an X display. I've added what ever I can find, trying to make it look like this computer, lightdm and xfce are running but I have no control of the keyboard and mouse at the Fedora 21 box, I can control everything normally from this F-22 box via ssh. I added the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ expecting that would fix things but it did not. $ ll /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ total 12 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 232 Apr 29 18:29 00-keyboard.conf -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 154 Apr 30 14:15 10-evdev.conf -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 217 Apr 30 14:16 20-evdev-mouse.conf Things look pretty much like they do here and I don't know where else to look.
