Quick question about xorg-1.8.0

Hey,

I'm moving all of my configurations to xorg.conf.d (like the modularity of it) and I just need to be sure whether or not the names of the config files are "<random-number>-<driver-name>.conf" or "<specified-number>-<driver-name>.conf"?

Thanks for the help

The numbers are only used for defining which files should be load first, else they'd be loaded in alphabetical order. So, if you have a setup which requires one file to be loaded so another one works propaply, give the latter a higher number(ie, 01-must-load-first, 99-at-least-it-gets-loaded).

alright thanks. Then my problem isn't there it seems (the keyboard settings are ignored when in xorg.conf.d)
I'll have a look at it. Thanks

Hi, can you post your actual files, your xorg.conf and your other .conf ?

Your wish is my command

I assume working files (synaptics) can be ignored.
But Xorg.conf:

I think one is supposed to use evdev under xorg-1.8.

I can't currently install it, because of a conflict with nvidia-drivers... Plus, evdev never worked for me (or - more probably - I'm too dense to set it up correctly)...

Zeerak · Post by **Zeerak** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 9:52 pm

isn't evdev just to be a general driver? Personally I prefer to have a number of drivers (they're all dependencies anyway), so one could use evdev as the single driver, but the option of using a number of drivers is also open.

Hi, can you use this one :

Code: Select all

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Layout0"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Files"
    FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/"
    FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/"
    FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/"
    FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/util/"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nouveau"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "GeForce Go 7300"
    Option         "RenderAccel" "true"
    Option         "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
    BusID          "PCI:1:0:0"
    Screen          0
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "TwinView" "0"
    Option         "metamodes" "DFP: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

d2_racing · Post by **d2_racing** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 11:05 pm

And try this one :

Code: Select all

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Keyboard"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "xkbLayout"  "dk"
        Option  "xkbOptions"        "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" 
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection

Indeed,because keyboard and mouse are long gone :

Code: Select all

x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse

Hope not? New Xorg required udev with extras, udev with extras wanted to pull in acl, I objected at this point, using good old keyboard and mouse ...

d2_racing · Post by **d2_racing** » Mon Apr 19, 2010 12:17 am

I don't have these 2 on my box :

Code: Select all

x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse

And everything is working, udev and Xorg-Server get the job done.
