Stuff is figured out itself now anyway. :-S |

You have hal-0.5.10 installed and compiled xorg-server with hal. Now hal will |
| 17 |
scan the attached devices and hotplug available mice. The touchpad is |
| 18 |
recognized as a mouse and the "evdev" driver is loaded with uses absolute |
| 19 |
mode since the device emits absolute coordinates. |
| 20 |
These devices are even added when you already have a mouse input device in the |
| 21 |
xorg.conf, thus giving you a lot of mice that use the same data (some guys |
| 22 |
report double clicks on single clicks, keymaps changed, the touchpad does not |
| 23 |
work right anymore). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Put |
| 26 |
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" |
| 27 |
in the Section Serverflags and xorg will stop to hotplug mice. |
| 28 |
Or add a custom policy file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ to add the touchpad with |
| 29 |
the synaptics driver instead of evdev. |
