You mean, work as in...?
Couldn't get 1.8.0.902 to compile, 1.8.1 though did but didn't bring any cure for the xrandr issue at least. |

Personal overlay, modified 1.8.0 ebuild (removed two patches that went upstream).
If you're curious, look here for the ebuild. |

Just switched to the new xorg, removed hal use flag and all is working great (I have to keep hal running at least for battery widget)
Finally I also have alt+Fkey VT switch back (lost with xorg-server 1.7 when started using precompiled ati-drivers) and, thanks to Odysseus, the touchpad now is working again in the right way.

To resolve the Alps touchpad issue was simple. I removed all vestiges of any input drivers from my xorg.conf and deleted my /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics file. Then I opened konsole and started experimenting with synclient. I ran synclient -l to see what options were active. I experimented turning on and off different synclient options until I got it working the way I wanted. Then I edited my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-synaptics.conf file.
All I needed to do was add the following lines: Code: | Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1"
Option "CircularScrolling" "1" |
So that my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-synaptics.conf file now looks like this: Code: | Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1"
Option "CircularScrolling" "1"
EndSection

I'm using x11-drivers/ati-drivers-10.4-r1 and x11-base/xorg-server-1.8.1-r1 from gentoo-quebec overlay
Thanks to all |

Which version of udev is required to build 1.8.x? I tried 151-r3 and upgraded to 154, though couldn't build xorg-server 1.8.0 or 1.8.1-r1:

Since around the xorg-server upgrade, I have been having trouble where some times KDE would freeze on login for several seconds until KDE detected an issue and disabled compositing. Through the course of troubleshooting, I downgraded to x11-apps/xinit-1.2.0-r3, x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.7 and x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.7. This did not fix the issue, so I tried downgrading to x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-190.53-r1 and so far, so good. I have been heavily leaning torward the nvidia drivers as being the cause of the issue. If this turns out to be the case (i.e. I go a few weeks without issues), what are the oldest x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers I can use with x11-base/xorg-server-1.8.1? |

Let me know if you get it working with 1.7.x xog-servers. That is one feature from Ubuntu that I would like to have on Gentoo. |

Those with KDE can enable it in the Keyboard Settings in System Settings - I do not know what to add to xorg.conf to get it working. _________________ Who shall guard the guards? |

yeah - and Gnome,
but that often isn't enough:
add

Well, thanks. Though, the problem was with cruft in my system left after emergency manual udev installation. File included was from /local/ and it was quite old
UPD: Sigh. I found quite annoying bug (?) in 1.8.1, if I connect removable device, Xorg just crashes...
UPD2: That was, again, my fault. I cleaned up all udev cruft and everything seems to work fine now |

I know this is an ancient post but I had a rough time finding the answer to this on any G-Forum. Had to resort to crawling the Ubuntu forums.. gasp!
In any case xorg 1.5 (?) and up (I'm on 1.10) doesn't do zap via ctrl + alt + backspace anymore, too dangerous for n00bz like me. And with various prescribed methods for restoring it (HAL/xorg.conf/xinitrc), your mileage may vary. It is now..
which on my system is right alt + print screen + k. Now, if y'all dead people who aren't reading this thread anymore will excuse me I'm going to merrily zap my xserver and log out.. _________________ "Stolen's a strong word. It's copyrighted content that the owner wasn't paid for." |
