They need to build and install a new evdev driver anyway for 1.8 since the ABI bumped. And this rule will fail if they haven't installed the evdev driver. I really think these would be better to stay with the drivers. Do you also want the synaptics touchpad catcall here, too? > Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-evdev.conf file: > > Section "InputClass" > Identifier "evdev-catchall" > Driver "evdev" > MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" > EndSection > > I heard a couple of people suggesting that this be renamed to a higher > number so that you could get files read before it.

As far as I'm concerned, it's good, but I guess we need to settle whether this is in the server or the driver. -- Dan _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
