When looking here, I don't see that the mouse driver recognizes any of the options from the hal policy

You can see that the x11_options are present on the Logitech USB Receiver device here, though (but the X server does not use them).
AngleOffset is not a supported option anymore, it was removed in the big cleanup/revert before evdev 2.0. The other options require evdev 2.1, which should be in stable by now. Please update the xorg-x11-drv-evdev package. Ouch... so basically I'm stuck with having the off-center axis? Are there any other options I can use to improve the ergonomics of my trackball? FYI, I just upgraded the xorg-x11-drv-evdev package, and now I see that the options are indeed picked up (except for AngleOffset, as you mentioned). Thanks for letting us know. (In reply to comment #5) > Ouch... so basically I'm stuck with having the off-center axis? Are there any > other options I can use to improve the ergonomics of my trackball? if you have the time, you can probably just pick up the patches for the off-center axis from a previous evdev version and re-implement it on top of master. evdev master is still quite a small codebase and should be easy to get into. Feel free to either file a RFE on bugs.freedesktop.org, or send the patch to the xorg mailing list (xorg.org). |
Created attachment 328263 [details] New hal policy file that I placed in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-logitech-cordless-optical-trackman.fdi Description of problem: I just installed F10 to replace my F8 installation. Previously, I had used xorg.conf to configure my Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman into a usable state. Now that F10 is out with HAL hot-plugging goodness, I tried to convert my xorg.conf options to a custom hal policy. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always reproducable... I've attached my new fdi policy file as well as my old xorg.conf. Output of lshal shows that hal picks up the x11_options (relevant lshal output also attached), however, Xorg does not use these options (Xorg.0.log attached). Additional info: This is pretty unfortunate for me at the moment, because without this configuration my trackball axis is off by a little over 30 degrees, which makes the trackball very clumsy to use. As a previous carpal tunnel sufferer, I am hoping to find a way to get this working quickly. Any tips on what I may be doing wrong are greatly appreciated.
