This was a suggestion in conjunction to keyboard and Xorg trying to guess your hardware. So check first the Xorg.0.log and see what input it discovers and configures there. If necessary try with a custom Xorg config file. You can get the base line with -configure When this option is specified, the Xorg server loads all video driver modules, probes for available hardware, and writes out an initial xorg.conf(5) file based on what was detected. This option currently has some problems on some platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the configuration process. This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0). regards
