As I understand it, everything that can be done in xorg.conf can be done |
| 46 |
via HAL, but I'm not sure how you would do so for the video devices. |
| 47 |
That said, you should be able to completely get rid of the input devices |
| 48 |
in xorg.conf, and instead install this in a file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy: |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
- --- 8< --- /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-local.fdi --- >8 --- |
| 51 |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> |
| 52 |
<deviceinfo version="0.2"> |
| 53 |
<device> |
| 54 |
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse"> |
| 55 |
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge> |
| 56 |
<merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="string">4 5 6 7</merge> |
| 57 |
<merge key="input.x11_options.ButtonMapping" type="string">3 2 1</merge> |
| 58 |
</match> |
| 59 |
</device> |
| 60 |
</deviceinfo> |
| 61 |
- --- 8< --- /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-local.fdi --- >8 --- |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
This sets the options for each device that has the "input.mouse" |
| 64 |
capability to the same values you had in xorg.conf. |
