In theory, evdev replaces keyboard and mouse. You can have all three |
| 17 |
*present*, but you can only *use* either evdev or keyboard/mouse at one |
| 18 |

evdev will give you basic keyboard and mouse functionality. |

It is always possible that you have unusual hardware and will need to write |
| 22 |
an fdi file to tell HAL what you have. |

It is also always possible that you have very unusual hardware that evdev |
| 24 |
cannot cope with. |
