i never removed the manual keyboard and mouse configuration options that i had installed years back. however as xorg has grown more features, one of them included "automatic udev device detection", meaning that you *could* run with a completely blank (or even missing) xorg.conf. however, many people did not remove their old (manual) keyboard and mouse configuration sections, so what the xorg team did was to add an entry (which defaults to "on") "Use auto configuration". when this flag is set, any entries which use kbd or mouse drivers are COMPLETELY IGNORED. unfortunately, then, if you disable udev (which i did), xorg doesn't detect a mouse or keyboard - or in fact *ANY* input device - AT ALL. so, as documented in the document i wrote, you have to (a) set a flag to tell xorg to stop using auto-device detection and (b) return to the situation that everyone put up with before auto-device detection support was added. personally i see this as being no hardship at all. within hours i have retrained my hands to sit further away from the now completely hyper-sensitive trackpad that activates without my consent to move the cursor to completely random positions on screen. if it really annoys me too much i will simply "rmmod bcm5974". problem solved :) in fact, why don't i do that right now.... :) l. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
