[SOLVED]Doubt with resolution, keyborard mouse config in xo

[daschapa]

After a few years without working with Gentoo, I found myself in a complication when xorg appears to guess my monitor resolution, when it isn't specified in xorg.conf.
BTW, I can't make work keyboard and mouse in it.
This is what I have in xorg.conf

Code: Select all

Can anyone help me?

Have you recently updated xorg-server? What version are you on?

From: xorg-server-1.5-upgrade-guide

If you don't want to use HAL, you can either build xorg-server with USE="-hal" or you can turn AutoAddDevices option off in the ServerFlags section of your xorg.conf.

Code Listing 2.2: Turning AutoAddDevices off

Code: Select all

Option      "AutoAddDevices"    "false"

Both options will allow the X server to use the legacy mouse and kbd drivers.

Worth reading to find out where X has gone:

Hello.
xorg-server version is 1.7.xx.
How do I know it is using HAL o udev for detecting & picking up devices?
Thanks in advance

[DONAHUE]

if you haven't prevented hal as above, then an attempt to use dbus, hal, and udev will be made. This will fail if you have not emerged and started dbus and hal.
recommend:

Code: Select all

nano /etc/make.conf

add to USE=" consolekit dbus devicekit hal udev policykit

Code: Select all

nano /etc/conf.d/xdm

edit DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm" to your choice

Code: Select all

nano /etc/rc.conf

edit XSESSION="Gnome" to your choice
make sure you have emerge the display manager/window manager/desktop of your choice

Code: Select all

echo 'XSESSION="Xfce4"' >> /etc/env.d/90xsession # use your choice instead of Xfce4

Code: Select all

emerge --sync 
emerge consolekit dbus devicekit hal udev policykit xorg-server $(qlist -IC x11-drivers)
emerge -uND world
rc-update add dbus default
rc-update add hald default
rc-update add consolekit default
rc-update add udev-postmount default
reboot

upon reboot try

Code: Select all

X -retro

if you get a black and white stipple pattern and mouse cursor moves, x is running,

Sorry for not answering earlier.
It was a system-wide messup...
I've emerge -uDN system before having this problem and I was having some package breakages.
I've repaired it now.
Thanks
