Server 1.11.x versus evdev?
Hi list, I'm still using server 1.9.x because I've had keyboard and mouse problems with 1.10.x and 1.11.x. I just discovered the workaround with recent servers is to turn off AutoAddDevices, but what that actually does is fall back to the old kbd and mouse drivers instead of using evdev. My xorg log doesn't even mention looking for evdev, although I definitely have evdev 2.6.0 installed. Is that version maybe too old to work with the latest server? My xorg.conf is empty except for turning off "AutoAddDevices". I haven't yet tried using "InputClass" entries for keyboard and mouse, but I thought that wasn't needed any longer for very basic hardware. What am I overlooking? Thanks for any clues. ___ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
Recent linux kernel bug causing problem for xkbcomp
Hi team. I'm trying to debug a recent commit to Linus's git repo that causes startx to halt with a complaint that it can't write a .xkm file to /var/lib/xkb. I'm assuming that the message is from xkbcomp, but I can't find where in the startx process that xkbcomp is run, or what else might produce such an error message. I'd like to reproduce the error by running xkbcomp manually so I can track it down. Even vague and generic hints might be helpful :) Thanks! ___ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com

To clarify: the mouse has *no* scrollwheel or trackball, and only *2* physical buttons, right? Seems odd then that the logs talk about buttons 4 and 5.

Pressing both buttons simultaneously generates just sequence of > buttons 1 and 3 pressed one after another. Okay, that's what I'd expect from a 2-button mouse. I suggest trying Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" in your xorg.conf. That (I think) should allow you to scroll by holding down both buttons. Using button 1 might be more natural, but I suspect it would also break click-and-drag. ___ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s

Evdev should be able to get that information from the mouse. I'd try removing that option. ___ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
