Now you need hald_enable="YES" and dbus_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf and the ms / kbd will be detected. Apparently this behaviour can be overridden in xorg.conf itself with ; Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" Option "AutoEnableDevices" "off" To the Section "ServerFlags" Also, when creating your new xorg.conf (Xorg -configure) its best to add Option "DontZap" "false" otherwise ctrl-alt-backspc wont get out out of X and you end up pressing power button. I also founf that X -config xorg.config.new -retro is best way to test new xorg.conf > I never needed hald to have keyboard and mouse under X working You might with the latest version ... > >> However, I have noticed that the GBP symbol does not work? In console I >> get a beep, in xorg nothing. I have tried iso and cp850 keymaps Oddly at Login: I can actually get the gb pound symbol but as soom as I am logged in I get a beep !!! > You may check it with xev OK will check ... > about text mode console - i have this in my rc.conf: Yes, I have similar, well swiss is my fave but I have tried UK iso etc still no luck -- Be nice with people on the way up, you might meet them on the way down!
