Same thing here. I just tried again to get hal, evdev and all his |
| 26 |
"drive me crazy" friends to work, it doesn't. It appears to me that hal |
| 27 |
will be disabled in package.use for xorg-server FOREVER. I'm sick of |
| 28 |
messing with evdev. I'm waiting on something better to come along. I |
| 29 |
bet someone does come up with something better too. This has been a |
| 30 |
PITA since it came out. |

I'm sticking with what works, xorg,conf and no evdev. It has worked for |
| 33 |
years and it still does. |
