After upgrade to xorg-server 1.8, the server cannot detect neither keyboard nor mouse. I have * evdev compiled in the kernel (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) * /etc/init.d/udev started * /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d contains 10-evdev.conf * INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" in /etc/make.conf I have tried 1) /etc/X11/xorg.conf with Section "ServerFlags" Option "AutoEnableDevices" "true" Option "AutoAddDevices" "true" Endsection 2) no xorg.conf (but still having /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf in place) The X server is not stuck. When I do startx, it starts three xterms and a clock and when the xterms are terminated (through ssh), the server stops as well.

I've also tried to reemerge xf86-input-evdev, to no avail.
Well if you would read emerge messages more carefully you would have found the following advice after emerging xorg-server finished: * You must rebuild all drivers if upgrading from <xorg-server-1.8 * because the ABI changed. If you cannot start X because * of module version mismatch errors, this is your problem. * You can generate a list of all installed packages in the x11-drivers * category using this command: * emerge portage-utils; qlist -I -C x11-drivers/
Yeah but the problem is not that I cannot start Xserver - I can, but it is unusable, since I cannot use neither mouse nor keyboard. As I have written, I have recompiled xf86-input-evdev. I've rebuilt the other drivers qlist -I -C x11-drivers/ too and it's still not working.
please attach your xorg.conf file in case you have one...
(In reply to comment #8) > please attach your xorg.conf file in case you have one... > I'm using the following xorg.conf (and also trying without xorg.conf at all, but it makes no difference in my case) xorg.conf: Section "ServerFlags" # Option "AllowEmptyInput" "true" Option "AutoEnableDevices" "true" Option "AutoAddDevices" "true" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "nvidia" # Driver "nv" # Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Option "DPI" "96x96" # Option "NoVirtualSizeCheck" # Option "UseEDIDFreqs" "FALSE" # Option "UseEDIDDpi" "FALSE" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" DefaultDepth 24 # SubSection "Display" # Depth 24 # Modes "1920x1200" # EndSubSection EndSection Section "Module" # Load "dri" # Load "glx" # Load "evdev" # Load "kbd" EndSection
Better yet, attach full xorg log from such freeze.
It works now! In the full Xorg log there was a note saying (II) The server relies on udev to provide the list of input devices. If no devices become available, reconfigure udev or disable AutoAddDevices. So I changed xorg.conf, this is the critical section: Section "ServerFlags" Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" EndSection And it works. Thanks everybody for help.
As I repeatedly wrote on the forum, '"AutoAddDevices" "false"' is nearly never a fix, if it makes anything work, it's only cause something is broken somewhere on dbus/hal/xf86-input-evdev line.
I've just run into this bug when upgrading an otherwise stable amd64 system to use x11-base/xorg-server-1.8.2. I get no keyboard and no mouse. My /var/log/Xorg.0.log has no mention of evdev at all. I have rebuilt all of the Xorg drivers. There are no problems loading any drivers. The "workaround" of using AutoAddDevices "false" works, but seems like a total hack. Is there any other information I can provide to help fix this bug for real?
@comment 13 1. try emerging xf86-input-evdev 2. bugzilla is not a place for asking support questions, forum is
I agree with @comment 13. That is only a workaround. This could be a real bug.
