If you open yours vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
your probably missing some key sections (all above)

check your i suspect most likely
{Device] is completely missing or messed up.

Hi,

The above given is my Xorg.conf file. I cannot figure out the problem. I think my problem is in the section files as given below but i am not sure:

Quote:

Section "Files"

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, a font server independent of the X server is
# used to render fonts.
FontPath "unix/:7100"

EndSection

Currently, I am using (GNOME )FC5 , kernel version 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5. [Laptop - Compac Presario V4000 Model].

I would be very grateful, if anyone can figure out the problem.

Bingo
copy/backup your file
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bak

Code:

Section "ServerLayout"

Identifier "single head configuration"

Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0

InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

InputDevice "Synaptics" "CorePointer"

InputDevice "Mouse0" "AlwaysCore"

EndSection
