ruskie says: update mesalib to the one from test (fixed this morning); cast -r
select whatever and pick swrast... or get something usable for dri... you
can't comment out glx/dri they get auto loaded... thanks to the brilliance of
X devs.

That fixed the EE error, although I found out X was not frozen, I got
without mouse neither keyboard. The reason is that I needed:

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
EndSection

For some reason although I don't have such flag set at all, if not
present it's supposed "on", thus Xorg by default disables the keyboard
and mouse. After adding the flag unset ("off"), I got keyboard and
mouse back.... I've read there are patches to revert this behavior,
however just adding the flag by default to xorg.conf sounds OK as
well. Notice I didn't use the optional HAL, since I'm trying not to
use it as much as possible, and that might be implied with the need
for the flag as well....

It's broken for HAL, too. Basically anything that's using the mouse or kbd drivers are *disabled* if they are configured in xorg.conf, but supposedly work if you let HAL configure them (I did not try this).
