I haven't actually used it, but the package comes with a README, which
says:
inputattach for Debian
----------------------
This package does not include an initscript to initialize your
devices automatically; it isn't possible to adequately control
inputattach as would be required for an initscript.
To automatically attach a serial device to the input layer, the
recommended approach is simply to add the appropriate lines to
/etc/rc.local, or to a local udev rules file. For example, to
configure a Mouse Systems mouse on the first serial port:
* in /etc/rc.local
inputattach --daemon -msc /dev/ttyS0
* or in /etc/udev/010_local.rules
ACTION="add", KERNEL=="ttyS0", RUN+="inputattach --daemon -msc %p"
I'd be interested to know how that works out (I guess you'd use -mman
instead of -msc to reproduce the behaviour from your xorg.conf).
Cheers,
Julien
