Thanks, I was not aware of this section type which seems to be definitively the way to go. It is indeed working with hal based configuration (after removing the bits from hal config), but not so much with the devd backend. First of all, with a quite bare configuration file (no ServerFlags options), I do have the following messages in log file: [ 8342.054] (==) Not automatically adding devices [ 8342.054] (==) Not automatically enabling devices Strangely, keyboard and mouse are added, with default settings, ignoring InputClass settings. If I force AutoAddDevices and AutoEnableDevices, these messages are switched to confirm devices will be searched and enabled... Except that I don't have keyboard/mouse in this case. If it can help, here's my xorg.conf : https://gist.github.com/mazhe/6600263 -- Matthieu Volat <ma...@alkumuna.eu>
