Problems with GDM [SOLVED]

My computer is a aopen 1557GLS laptop, and I want to use gdm as my login-manager. I installed gdm through pacman without any problems.

The problems occur when I try to start gdm. If I start gdm as root from the console my external logitech mouse doesn't work. And if I set gdm to start at boot time, my keyboard doesn't work, but both my synaptic and external mouse works.

The two mouses is found on /dev/input/mouse0 and /dev/input/mouse1, but both work with /dev/input/mice which I set up my xorg.conf to use.

I have no problems when running startx as user, or when I was using kdm.

Any suggestions to what can be causing the problem?

Re: Problems with GDM [SOLVED]

make sure it is started as the last one, the way to do this is to put it in /etc/rc.local at the end
