Good evening everybody (CET),
I'm currently testing Peter Hutterers' XI. AFAIK you don't
need any device configuration via xorg.conf, instead you choose
evdev (e.g. at /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mydevices.fdi) - then HAL should
automagically add the devices (at least mouse & kbd) at startup.
My System:
ThinkPad x31
Ubuntu 8.10 (2.6.27-11)
GDM + Metacity
Ati Mobile
Here's the output of my (stable) 1.5.2 XServer:
fl0@m0thership:~$ xinput -version
version 1.3.0
fl0@m0thership:~$ xinput --list --short
"Virtual core keyboard" id=0 [XKeyboard]
"Virtual core pointer" id=1 [XPointer]
"Macintosh mouse button emulation" id=2 [XExtensionPointer]
"Logitech Logitech USB Keyboard" id=3 [XExtensionKeyboard]
"Logitech Logitech USB Keyboard" id=4 [XExtensionKeyboard]
"Razer Razer Copperhead Laser Mouse" id=5 [XExtensionKeyboard]
"Razer Razer Copperhead Laser Mouse" id=6 [XExtensionPointer]
Next step: Logout - switch to TTY1 - login as root and start "X" like that:
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/path/to/the1.6.99.1/lib
startx -- /my/path/to/the1.6.99.1/bin/Xorg :1
---- starts fine ---
Output of my 1.6.99.1 XServer:
root@mpx:~$ xinput --list --short
"Virtual core keyboard" id=0 [XKeyboard]
"Virtual core pointer" id=1 [XPointer]
"<default pointer>" id=2 [XExtensionPointer]
"<default keyboard>" id=3 [XExtensionKeyboard]
---------------------------
1. lshal and lsusb correctly lists the above devices.
2. restarting HAL doesn't help.
3. /my/path/to/the1.6.99.1/bin/xinput --create-master "f00" works, but
there's obviously no device to reattach it :/
Do you have evdev installed in
/my/path/to/the1.6.99.1/lib/
xorg/modules/input ? What does the log
say? What do you have in xorg.conf?

Yes evdev is installed.

As Peter mentioned, this implies that you have AutoAddDevices set to
no. Can you post your xorg.conf?

You may want to install xkeyboard-config to /home/fl0/mpx, or rebuild
xserver with --with-xkb-path=/usr/share/X11/xkb to use your distro's
XKB rules.
