#2642: Xorg-7.4 evdev (keybaord and mouse config) -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.4 Component: BOOK | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
The nice thing about evdev is that it will usually do the right thing on its own without any additional setup. So, that makes the example configuration really simple. BTW, if you're using xf86-input-evdev-2.x and you find that your mouse buttons aren't mapped correctly, this is a bug in the kernel. However, if you've enabled input hotplugging with HAL (--enable-config- hal), then having xorg.conf entries for input devices can actually be harmful. Peter Hutterer has a great blog entry on how this works: http://who-t.blogspot.com/2008/07/input-configuration-in-nutshell.html -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2642#comment:1> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
