(Sorry if this came through already, gmail's draft saving via IMAP and |
| 10 |
a spotty wlan really mix up threads and messages in gmail's view.) |

During my short-lived and generally moderately clueless |
| 13 |
experimentation with the latest xorg-server, evdev and a hal-enabled |
| 14 |
PS/2 keyboard and a hal-enabled Logitech USB mouse, the mouse was not |
| 15 |
the problem, but the keyboard layouts were the killer which prompted |
| 16 |
me to disable hal altogether (ref: earlier "CTRL+C kills |
| 17 |
korganizer"-thread). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Mouse worked ok with following changes to my earlier xorg.conf and I |
| 20 |
had no need for plugging cables in and out, it Just Worked: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Section "Module": |
| 23 |
Load "evdev" |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Section "ServerFlags": |
| 26 |
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Section for the mouse InputDevice needed to change driver to evdev. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Section "ServerLayout": |
| 31 |
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" |
| 32 |
Option "AutoEnableDevices" "true" |
| 33 |
(But I ended up commenting them out and the mouse still worked ok, so |
| 34 |
not sure if you need to toggle the defaults values for these at all.) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Those changes gave me a functional USB mouse pointer with xorg-server |
| 37 |
1.5.x, but my keyboard problems went away only after I disabled acpid |
| 38 |
and hal, and re-emerged xorg-server with USE="-hal". Wasted nearly |
| 39 |
three good weeks' nights and weekends there with kde 4.2.0 upgrade, so |
| 40 |
you can understand my above-average grumpiness about hal -- just |
| 41 |
disable it unless you really really need it. :( |
