can older Xorg server be used with just updated drivers? drivers are separate modules.

Oh, okay. I'm not running HAL and I do have AllowEmptyInput and AutoAddDevices off, so just modifying the xorg.conf was enough for me. So far I've avoided HAL because it seems complicated and scary, and I don't know what the benefits of using it would be aside from some automounting tricks that I can live without. It does seem to be the wave of the future however, so any documentation that might help ease me into that transition would be appreciated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Shutting down X with control+alt+backspace
it may, dealing with portupgrade/portdowngrade
but setting AllowEmptyInput (ServerLayout) works.
hal is'nt well documented...
it'ld be a good idea to explain its configuration in the handbook

setting has to be moved to an XML file like this:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?

device
match key=info.capabilities contains=input.keyboard

merge key=input.xkb.Model type=stringpc105/merge

merge key=input.xkb.Rules type=stringxorg/merge
merge key=input.xkb.Options
type=stringterminate:ctrl_alt_bksp/merge
/match
/device
/deviceinfo
which should be named i.e. keyboard.fdi and placed in
/usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy
In light of the above, I feel we probably need to add a section on
Configuring Additional Options Using HAL to the Handbook.

Never tried, but the way Xorg is going this looks kind of frightening ;) that's why i'm asking. To do it that way in port system, because Xorg started to follow linux way and kde/gnome way i.e. - adding hald as a requirement by default - disabling CTRL-ALT-backspace by default - of course user should not leave X session, it's forbidden ;) it's not funny, because while i don't use all these KDE/gnome things, i do need X. Actually X11 isn't quite unix philosophy, it should be graphics support in console driver, but it's not possible to do it now with so many gfx cards. I wonder how long it will take that we will have to build our own computer to be able to run unix normally. Maybe someone will do, using off the shelf CPUs, and quite simple gfx controller. Actually not many unix users do need all these 3D functions. most just need framebuffer with 2D acceleration. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
