I've been having problems with keybaord and mouse not working on a Debian machine since the recent(ish) switch to using the 'evdev' driver. Finally nailed it this morning. I had a collection of /etc/rc?.d/[SK]01udev in /etc/rc0.d, rc1.d etc. These are left over from an old package - the only rc entries for udev should be in rcS.d. Zapping them all stopped udev trying to restart, and fixed my problems. -- Jim Hague - jim.hague@acm.org Never trust a computer you can't lift.
