Yes, but those lines are effectively "commented out". |
| 33 |
I have three ServerLayout sections but only the first counts (see |
| 34 |
excerpt from the xorg.conf man page below). The first ServerLayout |
| 35 |
section (the "active one") references the logitech mouse and not mouse0 |
| 36 |
so the mouse driver is not loaded at all. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I do specify the keyboard, but that is working fine. |

I do not use the hal stuff. I was scared off by the horror stories |
| 57 |
reported here. Perhaps this summer I will give it a go. |

SERVERLAYOUT SECTION |
| 63 |
The config file may have multiple ServerLayout sections. A |
| 64 |
"server layout" represents the binding of one or more screens |
| 65 |
(Screen sections) and one or more input devices (InputDevice |
| 66 |
sections) to form a complete configuration. In multi-head |
| 67 |
configurations, it also specifies the relative layout of the |
| 68 |
heads. A ServerLayout section is considered "active" if it is |
| 69 |
referenced by the -layout command line option or by an Option |
| 70 |
"DefaultServerLayout" entry in the ServerFlags section (the |
| 71 |
former takes precedence over the latter). If those options are |
| 72 |
not used, the first ServerLayout section found in the config file |
| 73 |
is con- sidered the active one. If no ServerLayout sections are |
| 74 |
present, the single active screen and two active (core) input |
| 75 |
devices are selected as described in the relevant sections above. |
