Description Alexander Zhirov 2022-04-05 08:07:19 UTC

After loading on real hardware, there is no mouse cursor display. The mouse itself is working (lit), but no visible actions occur after clicking on it. The keyboard does not work (Logitech Keyboard K120). Everything is connected via USB 2.0. The screen is black. The last thing I see in front of the black screen is the launch of the X-server. By pressing the off button, the screen is replaced by a terminal and the computer turns off. I don't understand what I missed in the configs. I can't see the logs, because the keyboard doesn't work to switch to another session.

I attach the configs and what I managed to photograph when I turned off the PC.

Xorg.0.0.log

I was able to configure SSH and see what errors Xorg throws after startup. For some reason, the modules are not loaded.

Buildroot don't even build a Qemu image going with X11

Thanks for your report, but this doesn't look like a bug. We do not expect Buildroot to provide out of the box something that has everything working, there is often some integration, configuration and tuning that is needed.

The fact that we don't build a Qemu image with X11 enabled is expected: we can't provide example images for all possible use-cases. Some people want X11, some people want Wayland/Weston, some people want no graphics, etc.

The part that is relevant however in your bug report are the X server issues when trying to load the different drivers/modules. Could you open a bug report that specifically describes this problem?
