Cheers, Peter Indeed, just removing the input driver key is enough. The line about the capabilities was a left-over from trying to have the joystick NOT recognized as a mouse in the first place. A previous version read something like: remove key=info.capabilities/ merge key=info.capabilities type=strlistinput.joystick/merge merge key=input.x11_driver type=stringjoystick/merge If memory serves correctly without the capabilities lines the joystick driver would not work correctly, as it was getting confused by the buttons. But this was some time ago and I haven't played with the settings recently. Cheeers, Magnus ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

Re: How To Disable input driver
Hi thanks for the fast reply. i want this option because i am developing the kernel driver. when the X11 see a new input device connected. it recognize it like a mouse, and X11 behave wired. I didn't develop any X11 driver. The X11 detect the the device as (type: MOUSE), and if remove evdev_drv.so I will not have mouse in the system, so i can not remove the driver, but i would like X11 to ignore this /dev/input/files/. so i will try to configure the HAL Magnus Kessler suggested.
