hwd -xa take error

Hello. Today I install Arch linux with cd core 2009-02. I install system, update system and install xorg xorg-server. Now I install pacman -S hwd and try to config xorg.conf. I put in my console:

hwd -xa

I take this effect:

No Xserver installed

I don't know what to do. I try to X -configure, but when i restart computer my mouse and keyboard doesn't work;/. But on my old cd 2007 it was working 2 weeks ago.

Re: hwd -xa take error

X -configure is the simplest and most effective way to go. Make sure you overwrite your /etc/X11/xorg.conf by the one that is generated.

The mouse and keyboard problem can be solved by looking at this:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … server_1.5
The information there is for if you don't want to use HAL/Dbus. If you do, just make sure you have dbus and hal in daemons in your /etc/rc.conf and it should work.

Re: hwd -xa take error

If hwd says there is no Xserver it means you don't have xorg-server installed because hwd checks if you have /usr/bin/xorgconfig

Check with pacman:
pacman -Q xorg-server

If you don't have then run and install all the main X packages:
pacman -S xorg

Re: hwd -xa take error

hwd doesn't yet have support for the xorg version from testing. Most likely it won't until that version moves into extra.

Re: hwd -xa take error

You keyboard & mouse not working is because you do not have hal in your daemons array.  Install hal, add it to the daemons array and use the config from "X -configure" and you should be fine.

Re: hwd -xa take error

I wrote a hackish patch to make hwd work with Xorg 1.6.x, at least basically. It's in the Announcements section. I would agree that 'Xorg -configure' has been better for me though.

Re: hwd -xa take error

keyboard and mouse not working might also be do to missing xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard packages. they're not installed as dependencies at all when you install xorg. i learned that one the hard way
