AFAIR, to configure X only with the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file it is
recommended to disable the "ServerFlags" option "AutoAddDevices" (see
man xorg.conf and /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-core/changelog.gz).
When I do that, neither keyboard nor mouse work and I´m forced to
press the reset button.
Otherwise the configuration shall be migrated to
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf (see
/usr/share/doc/xser-xorg-core/changelog.Debian.gz).
Thanks! The manpage of evdev shows that there´s no option to set the
property "Evdev Wheel Emulation" which is disabled by default. How do
you configure this property?
The manpage also doesn´t say anything about keyboards.
Keyboard config is still handled via the xkb subsystem in X.
/usr/share/doc/console-setup/README.gz has the details on
/etc/default/console-setup or /etc/default/keyboard
And how does a configuration file under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
fit into the Debian policy that all configuration files reside under
/etc? Shouldn´t there be a file /etc/defaults/mouse (and more files
for more input devices) to set up the mouse just like there´s
/etc/defaults/keyboard? Once all input devices are configured the same
way for X11 and the console, they should work on both ...
Mouse on the console still uses gpm, with the config file /etc/gpm.conf
As for the other file, the copy in /usr/share/ is always the original copy
of the default version of the file. It should be copied to /etc/ and modified.
In this case it becomes /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
Cheers,
Kelly Clowers
