Here's a section of my xorg.conf:
| Quote: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection
|
A common problem is that X is configured for a mouse device at /dev/mouse0. Change this to /dev/input/mice. |

Sorry about that, I read it too quickly.
Like you said, it might be the kernel config. If you compiled your own, make sure these options are enabled:
Device Drivers -> Input device support -> Generic userland interaces
| Quote: | CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
|
These options are enabled by default, but check just to be sure.
Good luck. |

Can't read CTR while initializing i8042

I fixed this by disabling USB in the BIOS. It's a known bug that I have only been bitten by on amd64. |

Thanks... Your post solved a similar problem I was just having after foolishly disabling the AT keyboard input and compiling a new kernel for the first time.  |
