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 :/ Any suggestions? cheers, Fl0rian </body> </html>
