<li> |
| 51 |
Xorg can detect input devices using udev, deprecating its HAL support. |
| 52 |
Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to Udev. |
| 53 |
</li> |
| 54 |
<li> |
| 55 |
Xorg's configuration is now much more flexible thanks to generic match |
| 56 |
options and multiple-file merging capabilities |
| 57 |
<path>/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/</path>. |

<title>Match rules usage</title> |
| 69 |
<body> |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
<p> |
| 72 |
With the hal <c>.fdi</c> files gone most of us would not like to write |
| 73 |
the Udev rules. Xorg now supports similar functionality written into the |
| 74 |
<path>xorg.conf</path> or <path>xorg.conf.d</path> files. |
| 75 |
</p> |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
<warn> |
| 78 |
Config is stored in <path>xorg.conf</path> or <path>xorg.conf.d</path> |
| 79 |
files but the detection is done by udev. So make sure you turn that useflag on. |
| 80 |
</warn> |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
<p> |
| 83 |
New section called <c>InputClass</c> is introduced. They are quite similar |
| 84 |
to <c>InputDevice</c> sections but can match (configure) multiple devices. |
| 85 |
</p> |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
<p> |
| 88 |
The InputClass work on match principle, where the following match rules |
| 89 |
are at your disposal (names are quite self-explaining): |
| 90 |
</p> |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
<ul> |
| 93 |
<li>MatchProduct</li> |
| 94 |
<li>MatchVendor</li> |
| 95 |
<li>MatchDevicePath</li> |
| 96 |
<li>MatchIsKeyboard</li> |
| 97 |
<li>MatchIsPointer</li> |
| 98 |
<li>MatchIsJoystick</li> |
| 99 |
<li>MatchIsTablet</li> |
| 100 |
<li>MatchIsTouchpad</li> |
| 101 |
<li>MatchIsTouchscreen</li> |
| 102 |
</ul> |
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
<note> |
| 105 |
MatchDevicePath uses fnmatch(3) when available, so you can use a wildcard |
| 106 |
pattern: <c>Option "MatchDevicePath" /dev/input/event*</c> |

<title>Disabling hotplugging (no Udev or HAL)</title> |
| 153 |
<body> |
| 154 |
|
| 155 |
<p> |
| 156 |
If you don't want to use Udev or HAL, you can either build <c>xorg-server</c> |
| 157 |
with <c>USE="-udev -hal"</c>. You can alternatively turn AutoAddDevices option |
| 158 |
off in the ServerFlags section of your <path>xorg.conf</path> or in some file |
| 159 |
stored in <path>/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/</path>. |
| 160 |
</p> |
| 161 |
|
| 162 |
<pre caption="Turning AutoAddDevices off"> |
| 163 |
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" |
| 164 |
</pre> |
| 165 |
|
| 166 |
<p> |
| 167 |
Both options will allow the X server to use the legacy <c>mouse</c> and |
| 168 |
<c>kbd</c> drivers. |

<title>Separating xorg.conf apart</title> |
| 180 |
<body> |
| 181 |
|
| 182 |
<p> |
| 183 |
The <path>xorg.conf.d</path> is additional folder where user can store his |
| 184 |
adjustments for the <path>xorg.conf</path> without need of touching the |
| 185 |
<path>xorg.conf</path> itself. |
| 186 |
</p> |
| 187 |
|
| 188 |
<p> |
| 189 |
The order of inheritance is quite simple. The <path>xorg.conf</path> (if |
| 190 |
exists) is loaded, then the <path>xorg.conf.d/**.conf</path> files are |
| 191 |
parsed as well. |
| 192 |
</p> |
| 193 |
|
| 194 |
<pre caption="example folder listing for xorg.conf.d"> |
| 195 |
scarab@ugly-elf: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d $ ls |
| 196 |
50-ati.conf 96-synaptics.conf 97-evdev.conf |
| 197 |
</pre> |
| 198 |
|
| 199 |
<pre caption="example content of 96-synaptics.conf"> |
| 200 |
Section "InputDevice" |
| 201 |
Identifier "touchpad" |
| 202 |
Driver "synaptics" |
| 203 |
Option "AutoServerLayout" "on" |
| 204 |
EndSection |
| 205 |
</pre> |
| 206 |
|
| 207 |
<p> |
| 208 |
As you can see the code is same as for xorg.conf itself. Only one addition |
| 209 |
is the <c>"AutoServerLayout" option</c>. With this option enabled the device |
| 210 |
does not need to be refferenced in <c>ServerLayout section</c>. |
| 211 |
</p> |
| 212 |
|
| 213 |
<note> |
| 214 |
The InputClass section is automaticaly using the AutoServerLayout option so |
| 215 |
you don't have to specify it in there. |
