Disable Keyboard and Mouse in Xorg on boot
 
Is there a way to disable the keyboard and mouse input on Xorg? I want to remove the keyboard and mouse input at the very start. i don't need to activate ever again on the computer in question since it is going to be a server of sorts with remote access. Is there a way to make sure a keyboard and mouse can not be used on the computer.

Thanks

If you want to completely block input devices, you can blacklist the psmouse and all HID (or USB) related modules. A barbaric solution would be to disable HAL and start X (which now gets its input configuration from HAL), not sure if that would be 100% functional. This can be simplified by disabling hotplugging in X.

You could comment out the input device sections in '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'. I don't understand why a headless server box would even be running X. You can disable running X, if that would be a better solution.
