Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
finally I found time to upgrade to xorg-x11 7.0.0 rc4. This time, |
| 4 |
migration went fine. |

|
| 6 |
Now could try the intructions of |

|
| 10 |
. Basically, it works out of the box. |
| 11 |
However, the evdev lacks Xkb support. Therefore, you are limited to the |
| 12 |
english keyboard layout. For my setup, I require two different layouts my |
| 13 |
own customized dvorak and a german layout for the second seat). As the |
| 14 |
implementaiton of the evdev driver is straight forward, I modified the |
| 15 |
driver to reflect my layouts. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The second downside of this migration occurs when using more than one |
| 18 |
monitor/screen/... per seat. I wanted to use 4 for the 1st seat and 1 for |
| 19 |
the second. Everything starts fine and works good. -- At least until any |
| 20 |
of those displays of seat one are used that are :0.0 (i.e.: :0.1, :0.2, |
| 21 |
:0.3). If I move the cursor to any such display, the 1st seat hangs. If I |
| 22 |
use the second seat to start an xterm on such a display, the 1st seat |
| 23 |
hangs. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The synopsis: |
| 26 |
If you use one display per seat, everything works out of the box. If you |
| 27 |
do not want to mess with the evdev driver, you are bound to an english |
| 28 |
keyboard layout. |
