Ah, now I think I see what you mean. I didn't express myself very well. My intention was to make a general statement that input devices are very likely not to work correctly without an xorg.conf. I didn't mean to say Pauls input devices won't work, sorry. >> HAL isn't running, and there is only one package installed that depends >> on it; otherwise I would purge it. > > HAL is only needed on kfreebsd-*, where udev is not available.

Interestingly, I've removed it and the package depending on it wasn't removed. >> BTW, how do you disable hotplugging, and how do you find out whether >> it's enabled or disabled?

The keyboard didn't work, and I fixed that. Again, what's the alternative to what I specified for the keyboard in xorg.conf? Is there automatic and correct detection of all keyboards now? And another example: How do you disable DontZap if not in your xorg.conf? >> It must be disabled, though, because otherwise my keyboard >> won't work. > > …your keyboard does not work anymore. Hint: look for "AutoAddDevices". ,---- [man 5 xorg.conf ] | Option "AutoAddDevices" "boolean" | If this option is disabled, then no devices will be added from | HAL events. Enabled by default. `---- How about udev? -- html messages are obsolete -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
