Can't get fdi and hal working correctly

Hi guys

I'm scouting the forums and been googeling this for a long time, but I just can't seem to get the HAL working correctly. I've written my fdi-file to look like it should, as well as removed the config part from xorg. The keyboard works great, but the entire X freezes when I put in the mouse. If I remove it, it unlocks again.

My xorg.conf:

Even though I've stated driver = evdev in the fdi file, it still reports as driver = mouse in lshal. I don't know if that is a possible issue. My make.conf has the settings:
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev"

and on this forum I have read that it should be enough. It didn't work when I had "keyboard mouse evdev" as settings either. And I had rebuilt my xorg-server with it. What to do?

azp · Post by **azp** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 7:12 pm

Ok, I read through the sticky fdi thread again, and found an error in my config. Needed to add
<device>
</device>

around the mouse and keyboard respectively. Now it shows the "evdev" as driver, and it actually works in X if I remove and insert the mouse while in in it. But if I change to TTY1, and then go back, it freezes again, until I remove and insert the mouse.

azp · Post by **azp** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 8:09 pm

Ok, now it's finally fixed. For some reason the problem is gone, either because I removed my rule for the mouse in udev.d, or because I rebuilt Xorg + all the drivers (emerge $(qlist -I /x11-drivers)) without "keyboard mouse" in make.conf.

It could also be because I changed my keyboard settings to <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbRules" type="string">evdev</merge> instead of "xorg". I will see if I can backwards engineer it =)

azp · Post by **azp** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 8:21 pm

I have tried reverting the udev-rules, as well as change the keyboard setting back to "xorg", and none of it recreates the problem, so it must be so simpel that I simply needed to rebuild my drivers.
Hope it help somebody else!

My fdi now looks like:

I'm using svorak with my swedish layout, but I let Gnome handle that, so I won't add it to the file now. I might in the future, just for fun
