As I understand it, everything that can be done in xorg.conf can be done via HAL, but I'm not sure how you would do so for the video devices. That said, you should be able to completely get rid of the input devices in xorg.conf, and instead install this in a file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy: - --- 8< --- /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-local.fdi --- >8 --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="string">4 5 6 7</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.ButtonMapping" type="string">3 2 1</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> - --- 8< --- /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-local.fdi --- >8 --- This sets the options for each device that has the "input.mouse" capability to the same values you had in xorg.conf. - -- ABCD -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkoE3RsACgkQOypDUo0oQOoW0gCaA0OWFsV48eA4nQNGkSED8JOL 8eEAoI9aJ12kWRezJSMmdTTkI6f6VwKz =xiXE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
