For some X11 configs (notably mine) it was necessary explicitly to |
| 26 |
configure evdev in xorg.conf. This used to work with, e.g., Gnome2. At |
| 27 |
a later stage, evdev suddenly required the udev USE flag to build. :-( |
| 28 |
This was taken account of in part of the web page, but not in the xorg |
| 29 |
description (which is now wrong). |

The change to evdev prompted me to stop using an mdev system, since I |
| 32 |
anticipated not having enough time to keep it working. (New job, and |
| 33 |
such like). The way certain developers are trying to force the world and |
| 34 |
his dog to use a rigid Red Hat specified configuration, I might be |
| 35 |
changing my time priorities. |
