As a distro, the nice thing about hal fdi or udev rules is that I can ship one to enable the evdev driver in the evdev driver package, same with synaptics, same with vmmouse, etc. The other options AFAICS are to hardcode the driver choice in Xorg (but then we'll also need a fallback to evdev if synaptics isn't installed, and similar headaches), or have stuff configured in xorg.conf. So at least for now I think I'll keep x11_driver in udev. If your patches go in I can't see any particular reason we'd want to change options in udev rules at a distro level, though (if the driver has bad default values, we should fix them there), so I'll remove this from v2 of my config/udev patch. Does that sound ok? Cheers, Julien _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
