[solved]startx gives no mouse and keyboard for user

[Member kelsoo]

antiX22 core, notion window manager, startx as root and everything’s working dandy. Start as user zilch. gpm installed and console works fine. I vaguely recall Debian may have done something about root logging in but no Idea if that affects antiX. default groups, clues appreciated.

Did you install xserver-xorg-input-all ?

confirmed antiX frugaler, since 2019

Install xserver-xorg-legacy and make the necessary changes for user login.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

yes. well it was already installed when I finally tried. Before that I installed

gpm

xserver-xorg-video-intel (atom)
xserver-xorg-input-evdev
xserver-xorg-input-mouse

But like I said startx as root and everythings working, mouse and keyboard all fine. Seem like a permissions thing somewhere

Did you edit /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config? Add:
needs_root_rights=yes
