This is the one piece that's > not working for me. Other than setting up udev rules I have tried everything that I could think= =20 of. Based on the experiments I ran on two laptops I have come to the=20 following conclusions (or should this be "confusions"? ha, ha): Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" is necessary under Section "ServerLayout" to allow legacy kbd and mouse=20 drivers to load. Setting up a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf and then moving to 55- evdev.conf so that the 50-synaptics.conf is read first does not work. =20 Somehow evdev permeates everything, creates multiple devices and hijacks th= e=20 touchpad, keyboard, etc. Commenting out the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf lines for keyboard an= d=20 touchpad also does not do the trick, because there is still the=20 /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf which seems to be parsed regardles= s=20 of a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf file being available. So, I removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf, commented out the keyboar= d=20 and touchpad entries in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf and can no= w=20 use my touchpad with horizontal/vertical scroll functions, acceleration, et= c.=20 based on settings I added in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50- as well as a=20 multi-language keyboard. Personally, I can't see why all these additional config files and locations= =20 are required, rather than a single /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I have found all th= ese=20 back and forth changes to fdi's, xorg.conf.d and what have you, unnecessary= =20 and annoyingly time wasting. Of course I might have missed something simple in all this kerfuffle, so=20 please chime in if there is a better way around this. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart2271997.c9kVU6qPbM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk0bMS4ACgkQVTDTR3kpaLaVWACgryh7I+/ylNugzxxBtIW4HePT EB0AoMtQjFgVE9rDCI60n8pcZd4cdZrI =Ma3H -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2271997.c9kVU6qPbM--
