X11 (?) problem

[fronty]

Hi,

I installed two days ago latest Kubuntu to thumb drive. I didn't have any CD's with me, so I installed it using VMware Player. Kubuntu boots fine from it, but mouse and keyboard don't work with X. Keyboard is Microsoft's wireless keyboard, mouse is HP's PS/2 wheel mouse. Keyboard works fine in recovery shell. I don't know about mouse, didn't find anything like moused in FreeBSD

I ran Xorg -configure, but it didn't work with configure file it created. I added InputDevice sections from it to original configuration file and wrote new ServerLayout, but nothing changed.

Does someone have any kind of idea how to fix this?

This forum needs built in bumping system.

Can you look for any errors/clues in Xorg's logs? (located in /var/log/Xorg.0.log)

After I read the log, I added Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" to my xorg.conf and everything seemed to start to work. Keyboard's repeat rate was too high, I couldn't write even password like "aaabbbccc" and backspace didn't work, I had to use Control+U. I booted to recovery shell and tried to look everywhere for something related to keyboard repeat rate. When I start KDM from recovery shell, repeat rate is good, but it won't let me log in with any user. When I go straight to KDE, everything seems ok. But now when I try normal boot, keyboard and mouse won't work anymore. Now when I think, I don't know does the whole thing hang or not, it didn't even get to login screen. I'm not sure, must check it tomorrow.

This (www.kopteri.net/koti/joonas.hilska/Xorg.0.log) is log X produced in time before I disabled AllowEmptyInput in xorg.conf, now it doesn't write anything to log file, even after I added Option "Log" "flush".

It seems to me that sometimes kdm freezes before login screen appears and sometimes not.

I created Live USB and installed Kubuntu via it and things still don't work.
