(WW) Disabling Mouse0 (WW) Disabling Keyboard0 I was wondering if Xorg -configure should issue a warning about that after it writes the configuration file. Yesterday, I ran it on my new video card and had to force a reboot. I suppose it happened because I don't have the evdev driver installed or HAL enabled in xorg-server 1.9.0. In my old xorg.conf, I had the following in "ServerFlags": Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" Anyway, just a suggestion. I don't know if it's something on my end, but maybe Xorg -configure could be improved somewhat, based on HAL and/or evdev presence. _______________________________________________ <a ymailto="mailto:xorg@lists.freedesktop.org" href="/mc/compose?to=xorg@lists.freedesktop.org">xorg@lists.freedesktop.org</a>: X.Org support Archives: <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg</a> Info: <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg</a> Your subscription address: <a ymailto="mailto:super_bisquit@yahoo.com" href="/mc/compose?to=super_bisquit@yahoo.com">super_bisquit@yahoo.com</a> </div></blockquote></td></tr></table>
