Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Hardy i386, evdev 1:1.2.0-1 evdev takes control of all devices even if it's specifically disabled in xorg.conf. I have this in xorg.conf: Section "Module" Load "glx" Load "v4l" Disable "evdev" EndSection However, evdev is still loaded and still takes over my mouse and keyboard. This is WRONG WRONG WRONG because evdev doesn't work right with my mouse (a Logitech MX Revolution) and there's no way to get Emulate3Buttons with evdev. Therefore evdev is not wanted on my system. Even after I have purged evdev, something in xorg or in the Ubuntu package of xorg continues to try to force me to use it: (II) LoadModule: "evdev" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module evdev (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No input driver matching `evdev' (II) LoadModule: "evdev" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module evdev (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No input driver matching `evdev' (II) LoadModule: "evdev" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module evdev (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No input driver matching `evdev' (II) LoadModule: "evdev" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module evdev (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No input driver matching `evdev' This behavior is seriously broken. I know that some people seem to think that evdev is the Holy Input Driver but, until it actually works, Ubuntu shouldn't try to shove it down my throat. When I put Protocol "ExplorerPS/2" in my xorg.conf, that's what I mean and I don't need some script coming around and overriding my explicit preferences. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: regression ** Tags added: regression -- evdev grabs all devices even if it's disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199923 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
