|
|
Hello!
I already have my mouse running with the evdev-driver. Now I wanted to use evdev for the keyboard as well.
I have some event-files in /dev/input/ having named symlinks (by udev: normal, special and extra)
My "normal" keyboard is working.
Then I have an additional event file for "special" keys that does not report any keypress (checked with xev) anymore.
And I have a uinput-driver that is creating an additinal event file ("extra") but xorg cant use it:
Code: | (**) Option "SendCoreEvents"
(**) Keyboard3: always reports core events
(**) Keyboard3: Device: "/dev/input/extra"
(EE) Unable to open evdev device "/dev/input/extra".
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
(EE) PreInit returned NULL for "Keyboard3" |
In the config file I have for all three keyboards:
Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "evdev"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
Option "XkbModel" "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/normal"
EndSection
...
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen 2"
InputDevice "Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Keyboard2" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard3" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection |
The main problem is the uinput events not working.
Its a stable amd64 system.

Thanks. Now is gets loaded. And the reason why xev did not see an event was the fact that the key was bound to global action due to changes in the keycodes.
So everything is fine now! |
