xorg-server with udev support instead of dbus/hal
Hi, yesterday i have found an patch to lets building xorg-server with udev instead of hal/dbus for detecting input devices. i have taken an quick look in this but i cant get it work in the moment. i dont know where the patch comes from, or if this will be included in the next time. this patch can be found for minimyth, an small mediacenter distribution. because HAL will be deprecated in the next time i think we need an alternative for HAL less systems. look here: http://code.google.com/p/minimyth/source/detail?r=5787 http://code.google.com/p/minimyth/sourc ... amp;r=5799 http://code.google.com/p/minimyth/source/browse/trunk/gar-minimyth/script/meta/minimyth/files/source/rootfs/lib/udev/rules.d/06-minimyth-xorg-evdev.rules?spec=svn5799r=5799 does anyone know about this patch and the usage of this? is there an plan to add this patch to xorg-server? greetings Stephan -- ### OpenELEC.tv ### The free and open Mediacenter Distribution 4 you http://www.openelec.tv ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

I not not launch the HAL daemon at startup and everything seems fine. I still use dBus though because CUPS needs it. As a side not a config file can be set up in order not to rely on HAL even without -disable-config-hal set but this doen't work on 1.6.3 if dBus is running and I prefer to use stock Slackware packages whenever I can. ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

It is working for me as well as the MiniMyth user that needed Xorg input device hotplug support in order to use his Sony PS3 BD remote. However, there is a MiniMyth for whom Xorg is crashing that is likely related to this udev support. It is likely that this can be dealt with using the appropriate udev script and xorg.conf file changes. Of course, until the cause it tracked down, I cannot be sure. ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
