[Resolved] X input configuration

Hello,

After I installed X and whenever I do

# startx

or

# gdm

the screen displays the way it should, but my keyboard and mouse stop responding, here is the relavent part of my xorg.conf. 

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

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse0"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option        "Protocol" "auto"
    Option        "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option        "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

Here's the entire thing

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection

Section "Files"
    ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
EndSection

Section "Module"
    Load  "glx"
    Load  "dri"
    Load  "record"
    Load  "dbe"
    Load  "dri2"
    Load  "extmod"
EndSection

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

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse0"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option        "Protocol" "auto"
    Option        "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option        "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor0"
    VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName    "Monitor Model"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
    BoardName   "G92 [GeForce 8800 GT]"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Card0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     1
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     4
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     8
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     15
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     16
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
    Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
EndSection

If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it.

Re: [Resolved] X input configuration

Add this to your xorg.conf:
Section "ServerFlags"
   Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "True"
   Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
Do you have xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-keyboard installed?

Re: [Resolved] X input configuration

Welcome to the forum Colsandurz!

Did you read these ones from step to step ? Is your hal daemon working?

Re: [Resolved] X input configuration

I hadn't read either.   I was looking at the nVidia driver wiki article.  My HAL daemon was working.  SpeedVin's solution worked for though.

Thanks a lot for you help.
