[gentoo-user] xorg / keyboard

2008-01-19 Thread Uwe Thiem
Hi folks,

somehow I have messed up my xorg configuration. The block of sic buttons 
from Insert to Page Down and the four separate3 arrow key (up, left, 
down, right) don't work or don't work as expected. For example, up invokes 
ksnapshot, the others don't do anything. My keyboard is a US 104 buttons 
keyboard.

The relevant section in my xorg.conf looks like this:

Section InputDevice
Identifier  Keyboard0
Driver  kbd
Option  XkbModel pc104
Option  XkbLayout us
EndSection


When X starts up, it first says:

(**) Keyboard0: XkbRules: xorg
(**) Option XkbModel pc104
(**) Keyboard0: XkbModel: pc104
(**) Option XkbLayout us
(**) Keyboard0: XkbLayout: us
(**) Option CustomKeycodes off
(**) Keyboard0: CustomKeycodes disabled
(II) evaluating device (Keyboard0)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device Keyboard0 (type: KEYBOARD)


It says later:

(II) evdev brain: Rescanning devices (2).
(**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard-isa0060/serio0/input0: always reports core 
events
(**) Option XkbModel evdev
(**) Option XkbLayout us
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device AT Translated Set 2 
keyboard-isa0060/serio0/input0 (type: KEYBOARD)
(II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard-isa0060/serio0/input0: Init
(II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard-isa0060/serio0/input0: On
(II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard-isa0060/serio0/input0: Off


So it seems to me, it overwrites my settings.

Should I disable evdev? How?

Should I do something else?

Hi,

You have hal-0.5.10 installed and it's hotplugging devices. To disable 
hotplugging, put
Option AutoAddDevices false
in Section ServerFlags. Or switch in X to an evdev keyboard layout, since it 
overrides your xorg.conf settings.
