Note: Todd, sorry about the threading. I accidently removed all the header info on your message and tried to reconstruct by hand. Todd Zullinger wrote: Dean S.

Thanks. Wow, almost the same exact question by two different people within an hour. ;) It is remarkable, esp. as I did not see the other post at all, but learned that something called evdev was involved by running startx -- -verbose 6 /tmp/startx.log 21 and inspecting the output of startx.log. I don't know if it works for sure, but it's probably worth trying what I suggested in the other thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2008-December/msg01354.html This will require a restart of haldaemon and X, at least. I'll give it a try tonight, but I don't particularly like the solution, as this appears to be a bug. In fact, https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2008-December/msg01410.html seems to indicate that it is a bug, though I don't pretend to follow what's going on there. Looks like I'll have to spend time to understand this evdev stuff a bit better.

Re: XkbOptions in xorg.conf being ignored (F10)
For some reason X, which I start with startx, is ignoring the XkbOptions. I think this has something to do with the new evdev driver stuff An alternative to writing .fdi files for HAL is to disable evdev, which I am doing to get my trackball to work with drag lock via the following xorg.conf entry: Section ServerFlags Option AutoAddDevices false Option AIGLX on EndSection The AutoAddDevices option set to false is the one that disables evdev. P.S. There is, in theory, a fix for drag lock + evdev in latest X, but I have no idea if it is incorporated into fedora's X or not, or if it also requires writing obscure .fdi files to make drag lock work, so I haven't tried to investigate the state of the fix yet. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
XkbOptions in xorg.conf being ignored (F10)
I'm trying to get an xorg.conf to work in F10. One of the stanzas that was created by livna-config-display (yes, I'm using the nasty closed-source nvidia driver :-) is: # Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display snip Section InputDevice # keyboard added by rhpxl Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd Option XkbModel pc105+inet Option XkbLayout us Option XkbOptions ctrl:swapcaps # == added by me EndSection The last line was added by me.
