[Bug 659793] Re: xserver-xephyr: Couldn't find keyboard driver evdev
I think this bug should be closed- the options in the patch have been removed from the current (upstream) sources. Glancing through the code and commit history, it looks like Evdev has been removed from Xorg server. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659793 Title: xserver-xephyr: Couldn't find keyboard driver evdev To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/659793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 659793] Re: xserver-xephyr: Couldn't find keyboard driver evdev
Are the --enable-kdrive-mouse and --enable-kdrive-kbd arguments necessary? They seem unrelated to the specific symptomps originally reported, and according to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=646686#12 they may have issues.

[Bug 659793] Re: xserver-xephyr: Couldn't find keyboard driver evdev
Hi, I am not Oliver Breuer, but this bug is definitely still there in package: xserver-xorgVersion: 1:7.7+1ubuntu7 (xserver-xorg-coreVersion: 2:1.14.5-1ubuntu2) (xserver-xephyr Version: 2:1.14.5-1ubuntu2) The package autoconfiguration does somehow not work and omits the evdev functionality for the kdrive xserver contained in this Ubuntu package (likely also in the Debian package). However, when manually compiling with ./configure --enable-kdrive --enable-kdrive-evdev --enable-kdrive-mouse --enable-kdrive-kbd, the compiled Xephyr binary (hw/kdrive/ephyr/Xephyr or build- main/hw/kdrive/ephyr/Xephyr in the build tree) does work as expected with evdev enabled. Therefore, the workaround for people who want the xorg-server (xserver-xephyr binary package) with support for evdev enabled, I recommend compiling manually with the above mentioned configure options manually added to debian/rules. (It seems compiling with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=--enable-kdrive-evdev etc. is not supported). For a quick fix under Ubuntu Saucy (with newest Xserver from saucy- updates repository enabled) or Ubuntu Trusty alpha, I included a patch. The package can be compiled the Debian way: mkdir -p ~/src/xorg-server-evdev-patch cd ~/src/xorg-server-evdev-patch wget #(URL to patch) apt-get source xorg-server cd xorg-server-1.14.5 #(or the corresponding package version) patch -p1 ../xorg-server-1.14.5-patch-kdrive-evdev (optional: change package version in debian/changelog not to have the package replaced during later upgrades) dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b sudo dpkg -i ../xserver-xephyr_1.14.5-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb ../xserver-common_1.14.5-1ubuntu2_all.deb If someone understands the build system used in xorg-server package better than me, please feel free to fix the bug in the build system's configure script (autodetection does not work, it seems). ** Attachment added: PATCH: Enable evdev support for kdrive-based X-server in Ubuntu package xorg-server https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/659793/+attachment/3961839/+files/xorg-server-1.14.5-patch-kdrive-evdev -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659793 Title: xserver-xephyr: Couldn't find keyboard driver evdev To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/659793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The attachment PATCH: Enable evdev support for kdrive-based X-server in Ubuntu package xorg-server seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the patch flag from the attachment, remove the patch tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

[Bug 659793] Re: xserver-xephyr: Couldn't find keyboard driver evdev
Oliver Breuer, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given you already have done this in a prior release, performing this on a release prior to Trusty would not be helpful.
