Xorg.conf. These settings work as expected in F8.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping I can also confirm the problem on my R51. It is present on xorg-x11-drv-mouse-1.3.0-2.fc9 I can also confirm on T42p. solution is here (not tested): http://vbraun.name/cms/node/7 > solution is here (not tested): > > http://vbraun.name/cms/node/7 (In reply to comment #6) Volker's solution (above link) works for me. Not sure whether it is a good permanent solution though. I had never heard of the evdev driver before. Are there any other potentially unwanted side effects of disabling AutoAddDevices? My external USB mouse still works as expected, so I'm happy enough. Should X respect the mouse driver if specified in the xorg.conf, or is evdev supposed to take over? Personally, I have only the following lines on top of the xorg.conf file in
order to get it all working again:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection
No need of the evdev driver.
In F9, input devices are hotplugged with the evdev driver. The list of devices is provided by HAL, and any device using evdev will not send to /dev/input/mice. If a InputDevice is configured for /dev/input/mice, it won't generate any event if all mice are hotplugged through HAL. This usually looks like the configuration is ignored or lost. The two options to fix this is: - Add Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" to the ServerLayout. This disables input device hotplugging alltogether and prevents evdev from taking over. - Change the InputDevice section to use evdev as driver and specify the device file as /dev/input/by-id/... or /dev/input/by-path/... /dev/input/event0 is valid too, but those numbers may change on reboot. If you choose this option, you may have to specify multiple InputDevice sections since evdev does not have an equivalent to /dev/input/mice. Beware that some option that are supported in the mouse driver may not be available in the evdev driver. If so, you can file a feature request with upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16699. Closing as NOTABUG since it was caused by a configuration problem. |
