Dear Julien,
thank you for the quick answer.
I did what you suggested and at first it did not work, however upon
closer inspection of the log I noticed that I didn't have
xserver-xorg-input-evdev installed.
After installing that package everything is working, included the USB
mouse. However, the layout chosen in gdm is wrong (I have a swiss-german
keyboard, and the layout seems to be US): this is obviously a big
problem, especially when typing a password. Is there any way to fix
that?
3D performance is fine; I cannot try an external monitor right now, but
I somehow expect everything to do the right thing.
Anyway, shouldn't that file be in /etc/hal/fdi/policy by default? The
config-less operation of the xserver was one of the strong selling
points of version 1.4. It is definitely hard to figure out what's
missing, without help.
Thank you!
