I seem to have both of these installed and following the xorg ebuild post |
| 13 |
install messages I rebuilt them since they showed up when I ran: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
# qlist -I -C x11-drivers/ |
| 16 |
x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev |
| 17 |
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard |
| 18 |
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse |
| 19 |
x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics |
| 20 |
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Are you saying that the above drivers are no longer needed because evdev will |
| 23 |
do everything and do it correctly? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
PS. I also needed to add an entry in |
| 26 |
my /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-xinput-configuration.fdi for the synaptics |
| 27 |
behaviour to be as it was before the xorg upgrade. |
