I have had mouse, keyboard and synaptics along with evdev in my
INPUT_DEVICES and have emerged relative drivers. I am now going to
remove them and see what gives.
I know nothing about the synaptics driver, so be careful about deleting
it. Maybe rename it instead of deleting it?
I am not clear which /etc/hal/fdi/policy/* files I should have in
there ... any ideas?
That depends on what hardware you have -- a lot of the stuff that once
went into xorg.conf can be put in an fdi file now.
Here is an example: I have an unusual mouse with four buttons and no
wheel, and I use one extra button to simulate a mouse wheel:
$cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-logitech.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains="ImExPS/2">
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">8</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
The two lines with "input.x11_options" used to be in my xorg.conf in the
Input section. Those lines do the same thing now that I've moved them into
an fdi file.
