Re: Replace systemd with busybox + minirc

Have got system running with mdev and mdev-like-a-boss but still X (keyboard and mouse) do not work. Am thinking I need to rebuild X without udev? or something else.

Has anyone got mdev working with X under Arch?

Re: Replace systemd with busybox + minirc

I've not tried mdev, but is it a case of needing:

# cat /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
allowed_users = anybody
needs_root_rights = yes

Re: Replace systemd with busybox + minirc

Anyone have any other suggestions, adding that config does nothing. Knew it would be difficult but thought it not impossible,

Re: Replace systemd with busybox + minirc

fbt has experimented with mdev on Arch. You could ask him, but first see https://fleshless.org/pages/spark.html

Have you replaced /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d with the mdev-like-a-boss xorg.conf.d?  That should make X stop using udev.

Re: Replace systemd with busybox + minirc

I am wondering if anyone else has the same problem with (s)mdev. My mouse and touchpad are working, but my keyboard is not responding. I can't even switch to another tty.

This is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-config.conf that can be tested without mdev :

Section "ServerFlags"
	Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice" 
	Identifier	"Keyboard0"
	Driver	"kbd"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Touchpad0"
	Driver	"synaptics"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Mouse0"
	Driver	"mouse"
	Option	"device"	"/dev/input/mice"
EndSection

I have installed xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard and I have tried many options in this file.

Have got configs installed, when you say replace do you mean instead of? Stock arch ones.

@alad Thanks for the help, been searching for mdev stuff and how it relates to arch.

Re: Replace systemd with busybox + minirc

Do I just need dbus-nosystemd installed for dbus to start?

No. Just keep systemd installed (systemd-udev works fine with minirc)
