xorg 7 evdev and gnome settings daemon

Message

Altezza2k2 · Post by **Altezza2k2** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 8:36 pm

im trying to get evdev going so i can use the tilt wheel on my microsof mouse, however, when i change my xorg.conf to

Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"

when i start x, i get an error saying the Gnome Settings daemon couldn't start because it restarted too many times. however, when i use the mouse driver, it works no problem. any idea what this could be?

Try this overlay:

Code: Select all

# wget http://evolution-mission.org/files/control-center.tar.bz2
# tar -jxvpf control-center.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local/portage
# rm control-center.tar.bz2
# emerge --oneshot control-center

Make sure to have PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" in your /etc/make.conf.

care to explain what this control center is?

nesl247 · Post by **nesl247** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 8:52 pm

Control-Center is the gnome package which contains the gnome-settings-daemon file. This overlay contains a patch that is in an upstream bug report.

I would just like to say I was having the same problem as Altezza2k2 and nesl247's patched control-center ebuild worked for me.

Do you use x86-64? The patch didn't help me in x86-64, but it solved the problem in x86.

Weird.

Yes, I'm using x86_64... with overlays for glibc and binutils

Joffer: Does it still compile and fail with the patch on x86_64 or will it not compile at all?

The overlay compiles fine, it just doesn't fix the problem. I still get problem with "Gnome Settings Daemon" and some icons and stuff won't load when I start gnome 2.14. Removing the mouse evdev input driver makes it work, but then my mouse ain't working as it should (mx1000).

I had the same problem, but it was caused by the libvisual gstreamer plugin (media-plugins/gst-plugins-libvisual) and I fixed it by removing it.

Try running /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon directly from a terminal in gnome and see what it says, that's how I found the cause.

I will check this out. Do you use the overlay for control-center also or just removed the plugin?

Update: I ran the gnome-settings-daemon and for a split second it looked like all went back to normal and then I got the same errors, but not an error window for gnome-settings-daemon:

"Could not load icon" error messages with these details:

Most of these icons are "Add to panels" applets I've added to the top-panel in gnome.

I did not recieve any indication about the plugin you talked about.. I don't think I've got that plugin installed:

Hi

I have this problem too.

I use x86_64 gentoo and I have this problem afret use evdev.
this is the output of my /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon:

The patch hasn't worked for me since control-center-2.12.

Thanks. How do I use this patch and does it work for amd64 or just x86?

the_mk · Post by **the_mk** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 9:01 pm

I tiried it only in a EM64T system and works.

I put it into /usr/portage/gnome-base/control-panel/files
i add a epatch line in contol-panel.ebuild (like others)
and i do ebuild contol-panel-xxx.ebuild digest

than emerge

I tried "your" patch too, and it did not fix the problem. The funny thing is it looks just fine for a few seconds, and then the icons and stuff blinks, and then disappears and only a gray "icon" with a X on it is in their place, and the errormessages hits me "as usual".

A rebuild of the evdev input driver with "clean" flags did not help.. just thought I'd try that too (using v1.0.0.5). I still get this error:

I get the same error. I've also tried the ebuild above with no luck. Running x86 here, so it must not just be a 64-bit problem. For now I just changed "evdev" in xorg.conf to "mouse" and device to "/dev/input/mice", and it works fine, just can't use all my mouse buttons.

I definitely didn't need to rebuild the evdev mouse driver.

I had to use the patch at http://librarian.launchpad.net/1831280/ ... blem.patch too, well actually I got it from gnome's bugzilla but it's the same patch.
I created a new ebuild in /usr/local/portage to make the changes, changed the name (appended -r0) and added

Code: Select all

epatch ${FILESDIR}/gsd-mausproblem.patch

to the src_unpack() function.

Did you change the existing ebuild or make a new one in an overlay?

I made a new overlay from the original, and added the patch to the files folder and added an epatch line to the ebuild identical to the other epatch lines. I reemerged control-center, which has my overlay as source (it takes presidence over portage on the same version, so no need to add -r0..)

I haven't bothered to try to apply this latest patch, because it looks like people are saying that it doesn't work on amd64 right now. Is that true or am I misunderstanding this?
