Hello All !
I have tried many things to make my touchpad work with the new xorg and
HAL but in vain...
Fortunatly my video is allright (xorg.conf),
my keyboard is also good (/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi and
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi)
and my usb mouse works but I strictly have no entry for it either in
xorg.conf or any fdi files in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
I only have this Section in my xorg.conf :
===========================
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "true"
EndSection
===========================
First of all where can I find information about the file names of FDI ?
NUMBER-NAME-NAME.fdi
Where are the specification of the nomenclature ?
I have found different names possible :
11-x11-synaptics.fdi
99-x11-synaptics.fdi
Why the donkey would it be 99 or 11 ?
Thanks for any hints about that..
My Kernel seems well configured for HAL to work properly. (Event Interface
& Mice > PS/2 mouse)
The thing is that I don't know how to match my touchpad with the
fdi policy or that I have another unknown problem.
I have the following devices :
=========================
root~$ xinput list --short
"Virtual core keyboard" id=0 [XKeyboard]
"Virtual core pointer" id=1 [XPointer]
"Macintosh mouse button emulation" id=2 [XExtensionPointer]
"PS/2 Mouse" id=3 [XExtensionPointer]
"AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" id=4 [XExtensionKeyboard]
"HID 04d9:1133" id=5 [XExtensionPointer]
=========================
I have tried many different synaptics fdi files and for now I am trying
this simplest one :
=========================
root~$ cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-synaptics.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
=========================
Thanks in advance for your help and pointers,
Red.
