Xorg without input hotplugging

arnuld · 2009-05-22 18:51:19

I have disabled Xorg input hotplugging by adding AutoAddDevices "False" into my xorg.conf. Even then my whole system freezes when I startx. I have tried both files generated using Xorg -configure and one generatd by hwd -x but no solution. I have to hard reboot using reset button. Its really frustrating experience. When I use Xorg with HAL it seems to work fine except that that system is running 50% slower than earlier, with HAl Arch runs like Windows infected with Spyware/Malware. Down here is my xorg.conf.

Is there no way I can run X without HAL ?

NOTE: xorg.conf has no information regarding HorizSync and VertRefresh becuse I am using LCD and LCDs always have only one resolution and refresh rate.

Wiki has partial information in disabling input hotplugging, one has to do these 2 steps in addition:

1) install xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse
2) add Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False" in ServerFlags section
