Dear Julien, thank you for the quick answer. I did what you suggested and at first it did not work, however upon closer inspection of the log I noticed that I didn't have xserver-xorg-input-evdev installed. After installing that package everything is working, included the USB mouse. However, the layout chosen in gdm is wrong (I have a swiss-german keyboard, and the layout seems to be US): this is obviously a big problem, especially when typing a password. Is there any way to fix that? 3D performance is fine; I cannot try an external monitor right now, but I somehow expect everything to do the right thing. Anyway, shouldn't that file be in /etc/hal/fdi/policy by default? The config-less operation of the xserver was one of the strong selling points of version 1.4. It is definitely hard to figure out what's missing, without help.
