[SOLVED] Nvidia X11 setup can not input

My video driver was use internal intel chip and it works fine.

I bought a nvidia card to try twinhead setup. I try single screen setup at first.

I follow the wiki setup minimal /etc /X11/xorg.conf as

Section "Device"
   Identifier     "Device0"
   Driver         "nvidia"
   VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection

But, when I enter X11, I can not use keyboard and mouse.

After several hours try and errors, one solution is:
Keep a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf instead of remove all /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev pointer catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev tablet catchall"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
        MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia X11 setup can not input

I would suggest you use split configuration files rather than creating an xorg.conf file.

In other words. move your file into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and rename it to something like 10-nvidia.conf
