I'm having trouble with xorg on a new 8.1 installation. I haven't
installed a wm yet, but when I try to call up the generic x windows by
typing "startx" they do indeed appear, but all three of the x windows
are locked up. By that I mean that there is no mouse, and no possibility
of entering data in the windows via the keyboard. Totally frozen. And
you can't get out of x in the usual manner i.e. ctrl-alt-backspace. The
only thing that works is ctrl-alt-del which, of course, reboots the
computer. Any ideas are appreciated.
"New" Xorg requires HAL and Dbus to recognize input devices by
default. Do you have these enabled?
Alternatively, you revert to the old, no-HAL method by adding
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
into your ServerFlags in xorg.conf.
You might also want to add Option "DontZap" "false" into the same
section as well to have Ctrl-Alt-Backspace working again.
