[SM-Users] Keyboard and Mouse in xorg-server 1.5.3

[Eric Sandall]

All,

If, after updating to xorg-server 1.5.3, you no longer have the use of
a standard keyboard or mouse (using the kbd or mouse drivers), you will
want to add the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
EndSection


Otherwise devices using the kbd and mouse drivers will be disabled.
Devices using other inputs (e.g. synaptics or evdev) will continue to
work fine (with or without the above).
