Probably the file doesn't exist yet, the defaults work without it. It theoretically can be called anything as long as it is in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ /usr/share/doc/hal/examples/10-x11-input.fdi is an example file, with comments, and this might be more focused and relevant: http://mvogt.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/xorg-evdev-and-emulatewheel/ I have personally not gotten the fdi file to have any effect, so I use setxkbmap in my xinitrc. However, I have seen plenty of blog posts where people got it working with no trouble. For more info use google keywords like xorg, hal, evdev, fdi, emulatewheel Cheers, Kelly Clowers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
