The problem is, when i do :
X -config /root/X11/xorg.conf
i see a black screen with the cross pointer of the mouse, but i cant move the mouse, and i cant quit from with tried CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE, nothing, i do ALT+F2, and open a new shell, and then i dot ALT+F1 to return to the old one, and i see some erros, like, device "mouse" not found device "kbd" not found.. :S
Then i tried
Cat /dev/input/mice
and i move the mouse, and click, and everything seems to work just fine.
Sorry if this in the wrong section, or the problem itself is dumb, but i tried everything belive me. If someone could help, i would apreciate. Btw, not an english person, i have a very bad english indeed lol
Tks in advance

Answer 1

i have a nvidia 6600 and a deathadder, i'll post my xorg.conf and see you you can get something useful:
#===============================
#ecra, output devices
#===============================
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Default Monitor"
HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0
Option "DPMS"
Option "DPI" "96 x96"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default nvidia Device"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Ecra"
Device "Default nvidia Device"
Monitor "Default Monitor"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
#===============================
#rato, teclado, input devices
#===============================
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Rato"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse_udev"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Resolution" "1800"
Option "SampleRate" "1000"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Teclado"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbLayout" "pt"
EndSection
#===========================
#wacom bamboo tablet
#===========================
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "stylus"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "eraser"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "USB" "on"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "pad"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "pad"
Option "USB" "on"
EndSection
#=====================
#the server layout
#=====================
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Ecra"
InputDevice "Teclado" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Rato" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "pad"
EndSection
and i think i have some udev rules to create those mouse links:
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules:
KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/wacom"
KERNEL=="mouse*", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0007", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/mouse_udev"
you can try something like this. hope it helps
