Public bug reported: I'm running Kubuntu Karmic (all updates applied as of 2009-09-08). I did not have this problem while running Jaunty.
The problem is, that X is unable to start up, when started trough KDM.I can see the NVIDIA logo for a short time and then I get the failsafe error dialogue shown. When I start X using "startx" X comes up without any problems. At least the xorg.cong and the binary Nvidia driver can't be broken completely as I'm able to start X this way. After having a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log I can see, that X does not load the evdev module and thus has no input devices when started trough KDM and fails because of no input devices. When X gets started by startx the evdev module gets loaded. I'll attach the output of Xorg.0.log when started trough KDM and when started trough startx. I also attach my xorg.conf. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [Karmic] Xserver does not detect keyboard and mouse when started trough KDM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426113 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
