Created attachment 23395 [details] Xorg log from frozen session With xorg/ EVERYTHING freshly pulled from GIT and rebuilt with vanilla `configure' arguments, under : hardware: AMD x86_64 TL-64 dual-core, 2.2Ghz, 2GB RAM, radeonhd X1200 card OS : linux-2.6.29-rc6-tip-x86 GCC : 4.3.3 binutils: 2.19.51.20090224 glibc : 2.9.90 , the X server starts and eg. an "xterm" displays OK, but no input is received from any input device, so is "frozen". This is on my own "latest of everything" Linux distro, but under Fedora 11 latest rawhide/development, with pre-build Fedora xorg-x11-server-1.5.99.903 and kernel-2.6.29-0.145.rc6.fc11.x86_64, the same problem occurs - I'll raise a Fedora bug and link it to this one also. ie. as root, after building, the command: $ X vt7 :0 -verbose -logverbose -logfile Xorg.0.log & ( sleep 1; xterm ) correctly switches to virtual console 7, and xterm displays OK ; but there is no mouse cursor, and no keyboard cursor in the xterm, and even the kernel "VT switch" keystrokes stop working (<ALT>+<CTRL>+<F[0-8]>). I've attached the Xorg.log . Any ideas anyone ? ( before I get out the kernel debugging tools and find out what is happening to the mouse / keyboard input events ... any help / advice would be gratefully received !) Thanks in advance, Jason.
This is a configuration problem. The server expects input devices from HAL, but HAL doesn't seem to be set up correctly on your box. Either configure HAL appropriately, add Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" to the ServerLayout to disable input device hotplugging.
