The Linux input layer will deliver the events to /dev/console unless the device is grabbed (which will disable just that device) or the console is put in raw mode (which will disable all devices). When you're using the kbd driver, the kernel is actually delivering a multiplexed stream of all keyboard-type devices. By removing the entries from hal you're preventing evdev from automatically picking up that device, but not doing anything to prevent them being delivered through the console device. THe kernel pays no attention to any information from hal. -- Matthew Garrett | mj...@srcf.ucam.org _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
