Bug#589373: xkbcomp is unable to be invoked because X server does not see input devices under xen/dom0
Hi,
I have run into exactly the same problem. Earlier we had Lenny system
with Xen Dom0 and Nvidia driver. It was used both as Xen host and as a
GUI desktop. Video adapter had broken, and was replaced with newer
Radeon card (HD4350). Which pushed us to upgrade to Squeeze, as Radeon
driver in Lenny did not support it (and there was not anything suitable
in Lenny-backports).
And so, when the -xen- kernel is booted standalone, without initial Xen
loader, X server detects input devices and starts well. With Xen loader
and kernel in Dom0, input devices are not detected. The system has USB
keyboard and mouse that are visible by lsusb either with Xen loader or
without. Don't know what else to check and compare. Probably this is
somewhat related to udev. I would appreciate any advise where to look
next.
