Have you read about the new "InputClass" Section? It has some advantages over the older "InputDevice", including the important ability to identify devices by their plug-n-play names instead the "event" number. As an example, here's my input section for a non-standard mouse: #cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-trackball.conf Section "InputClass" <--------------- note the new name Identifier "trackball" <----- I made this name up MatchProduct "ImExPS" <----- important: I did not make this up Option "AutoServerLayout" "on" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" Option "EmulateWheel" "on" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "8" EndSection Note the "MatchProduct" keyword. Unless you have two identical input devices this product name will be unique and invariant over reboots, unlike "event2". There are two places I could get the string for MatchProduct -- dmesg and #udevadm info --export-db: #dmesg|grep Logitech input: ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input4 And the corresponding (very small) section from udevadm info --export-db: P: /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input4 E: UDEV_LOG=3 E: DEVPATH=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input4 E: PRODUCT=11/2/6/6d E: NAME="ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse" E: PHYS="isa0060/serio1/input0" E: PROP=0 E: EV=7 E: KEY=1f0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 E: REL=143 E: MODALIAS=input:b0011v0002p0006e006D-e0,1,2,k110,111,112,113,114,r0,1,6,8,amlsfw E: SUBSYSTEM=input I don't know if any of this will help solve your problem, but I'd be interested to know if any of the experts here will include it in their advice. _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
