Why does xorg in Crux try to add all the consoles as X input devices?
This only happens in Crux, not in Debian or LFS. It goes through all the tty and stty devices, tries to add them and then drops them. A typical entry looks like:
Code:
[ 27.526] (II) config/udev: Adding input device (unnamed) (/dev/tty8)
[ 27.526] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[ 27.526] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.
I checked the udev rules for tty devices but couldn't find any reference to their possible use by xorg.
No, it still picks them up. I just get a slightly different error message.
Previously: No input driver specified, ignoring this device
Now: (**) (unnamed): Ignoring device from InputClass "Ignore tty adds"
