I've felt the pain (MS natural keyboard) until recently. For my two |
| 26 |
~x86 systems, here's the procedure that worked to get hal/xorg working. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
* set INPUT_DEVICES and VIDEO_CARDS in make.conf |
| 29 |
* set hal use flag in make.conf |
| 30 |
* emerge -uDNav world |
| 31 |
* emerge xorg-x11 |
| 32 |
* emerge xf86-input-evdev |
| 33 |
* create a default xorg.conf (Xorg --configure) |
| 34 |
* remove all InputDevice sections in xorg.conf |
| 35 |
* remove all references to InputDevice in the ServerLayout section |
| 36 |
* configure your video in xorg.conf |
| 37 |
* test using X -config path/to/new/xorg.conf |
| 38 |

Here's my xorg.conf: http://gist.github.com/68202 |
