hello
i've been using linux for some time now
but it's my first experience with arch
when i startx my keyboard and mouse freeze
i can do nothing and must restart my computer
i searched the arch wiki and think that the problem is due to the new xorg 1.5 hotplugging
which is why i added this to my xorg.conf
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
EndSection
but it hasnt helped and the error persists
i have an nvidia geforce fx 500 card
and have the drivers installed for it
here is my xorg.conf file
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder57) Thu Jun 25 19:52:48 PDT 2009

Make sure you have dbus and hal in your daemons array in /etc/rc.conf

if you disabled autodetecting input devices(which you did and i don't know why,"AutoAddDevices" "False") you have to install extra/xf86-input-mouse and extra/xf86-input-keyboard. or you can remove that line, start hal and then kde

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

>>wonder
your solution worked
i installed xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-keyboard
and now all's well
if i start hal and dbus first then can i uninstall these
if yes
how should i go about this
i've heard that hal can automount volumes too
i mount my local volumes in fstab
but that'll be great for usb media
