Description
A very simple test to ensure that the X server is able to receive and process input.
How to test
- Plug in a USB mouse and keyboard
- Start X
- Confirm that moving the mouse causes the mouse pointer to move
- Confirm that clicking the mouse buttons will send click events
- Confirm that pressing keys on the keyboard causes keypress events to be sent
The tester can use whatever means are convenient to confirm that the keyboard/mouse are functioning. The programs xev
and xinput test
might be helpful here, but really just wiggling the mouse and logging in through GDM/KDM/etc. is sufficient proof.
Expected Results
- The pointer moves in the same direction as the mouse is moved
- Mouse button clicks are recognized and handled
- The user is able to type letters using the keyboard
