Failed to load module "keyboard"
Hey guys I have been away from linux for a while and am now getting back into it. I am trying to install Xserver to a sid Debian system. I keep getting the the error "Failed to load module "keyboard" (module does not exist, 0). I tried changing keyboard to kbd in xorg.conf in the driver line but I get the same error. It's driving me crazy, hopefully someone out there has another idea..
By the way I get the same error for the mouse. Mayb be related but I concentrating on the keyboard error.
The xorg.conf entry for the keyboard is
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

did you use Xorg -configure to generate your base xorg.conf?
-
no, I installed it via apt-get and some auto configuration routine ran.. can't recall the name.. Let me try Xorg -configure...
Alright I tried Xorg -configure, and testing the new file
X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
I get the same error.. Failed to load mouse, failed to load kbd. I just noticed that optical light on my MS Intellimouse is not lit up though, It's a usb mouse. So obviously the usb or mouse driver is messed also..

sid might have went to modular xorg, and you dont have the modules installed, did you use the x-window-system meta package to install xorg?

dkeav, thanks. you nailed it.. I had to apt-get xserver-xorg-input-kbd , and xserver-xorg-input-mouse modules.. Gnome fired right up afterwards.. You saved me a lot ot anguish..
