[SOLVED] Gentoo USB Mouse/Keyboard freeze ind GUI

[hj3lmen]

The fdi file I told you to copy from /usr.... into /etc.... It's on the same post I told you the modifications for xorg.conf

In any case, I am glad that it works now. If you have problems with the localization/language of your keyboard you might need to tune that file a bit. But the bigger problem is solved now hopefully

yes I did that to with the policy and that.

The error about drm is this one:

drmOpenDevice: Open failed
[drm] failed to load kernel module "i915"
(EE) [drm] drmOpen failed.
(EE) intel(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI.

This can be for a number of reasons but almost always it has to do with a relevant driver not being in sync with the current xorg version. I never used the intel driver so maybe just recompiling it might fix it (if not then I am not the best one to help you with that).

You can try:

emerge -1 x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel

And see if the error goes away after restarting X.


While you are at it, you can also do a bit of cleaning in your xorg.conf. The modules don't need to be loaded explicitly now, and the input sections can be completely eliminated as well. But always keep a backup, just in case.

The fonts sections shouldn't be needed either.

Maybe you can remove even the video stuff, most open source drivers don't need it either nowadays. But as said, I know nothing about intel so I won't remove. I think that the DRI section is not needed for intel cards either (maybe a leftover from an ati or something?), but I am not sure.

This will alleviate the speech in your log files as well, which will make it easier for other people to diagnose things.
