[SOLVED] problem with installing X

[hadian]

after installing the base system and booting , i emerged xorg-server and nvidia driver and followed the steps as mentioned in the handbook. when i fire up X by startx, i can see 3 terminal windows and a clock in the screen but the keyboard and mouse does not work and i should restart the system by reset key!!!!!
this is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

Code: Select all

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "X.org Configured"

	EndSubSection
EndSection

the command : lsmod | grep nvidia results in:
nvidia 9467352 0
i2c_core 12784 2 nvidia,i2c_nforce2

and the command: eselect opengl show gives nvidia
in /dev/input there are 3 options related to mouse . mice, mouse0 and mouse1. i changed the line

Code: Select all

Option	    "Device" "/dev/input/mice"

to

Code: Select all

Option	    "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"

but nothing changed.
would anybody give me a guide?

I know this sounds insane, but what if you completely remove your xorg.conf and then try? I would also add the "evdev" flag to make.conf's INPUT_DEVICES section.

Two things.

1. Did you start hald? (happened to me, without hald evdev doesn't work)

#/etc/init.d/hald start
#startx

2. Have you evdev in your INPUT_DEVICES section of make.conf?
If not add it and emerge -uNDav world

Hi, can you post this :

Code: Select all

# emerge --info
# rc-update show
# cd /usr/src/linux && grep -i evdev

would anybody give me a guide?

The initial Xorg guide is not up-to-date yet. If you've only read that one, have a look at the following guides as well:

xorg-server-1.5-upgrade-guide
xorg-server-1.6-upgrade-guide

Also, you should check this one : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-722498.html

thanks.
i added evdev to input devise section of make.conf, and inserted the following commands and the problem solved.
#/etc/init.d/hald start
#startx
#emerge -uNDav world

[d2_racing]

Nice, and remember to have hald that is running at the default runlevel too.

Code: Select all

# rc-update add hald default
