(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled.
(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.
