I am working on the beginners guide and have read some information on input hotplugging, and was wondering if it was really necessary to do Step 3- section B in the Beginners Guide?
It's not really necessary, no. Take a look at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_input_hotplugging Section 6.6 tells you how to turn it off, but I recommend you to read the introduction part to understand what Xorg input hotplugging is about.
If so, I don't really understand exactly what commands to run and which order to run them? Thank you for any help.
Installing is pretty straight forward. # pacman -S xf86-input-evdev # /etc/rc.d/hal start If you don't use a "us" keymap, you probably have to configure it. # cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ Then edit it: <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">YOUR_KEYMAP</merge> And don't forget: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_input_hotplugging Paulo Santos
