Fedora 16 - Fix for mouse/keyboard disconnect in X

rg2003 · 11-11-11, 08:55 AM

Upgraded to Fedora 16, and found that mouse/keyboard worked in console session, but were disconnected when an X session started... Discovered - eventually - that the hotplug option was causing the mouse and keyboard to be disconnected, for some reason... Everything had worked OK with Fedora 15..

The fix is to turn this _off_, by adding:

Section "ServerFlags"
..Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection

- at the start of xorg.conf.

This is not an nVidia-specific problem, but is posted here as an FYI...
