Same here Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn has already given the reference[1], but let me expound a bit more; upstream has removed that file from xorg-server, and xf86-input-evdev is now the owner. This decision was done in May 2015. [1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89023 The patch for xorg-server is linked from the above page: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/48520/ = http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/config?id=fc59c8fe8d941b0ec1e98c59bc57b1f97dba149d However, the patch is not (yet?) included in the server 1.17 branch: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/config?h=server-1.17-branch Maybe we can apply the patch in xorg-server-1.17.4-r1, and let xf86-input-evdev-2.10.0 depend on >=1.17.4-r1. Anyway xf86-input-evdev-2.10.0 should block xorg-server <= 1.17.4, regardless of masking. Regards. Upstream says the xorg-server patch won't be backported to 1.17 branch: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89023#c5 9999-versions work fine. I've updated the dep for xorg-server to 1.18 to unmask it and to get xorg-server-1.18.0 to the tree. If nobody wants to backport the fix to the old xorg-servers, we should probably close this ticket as fixed now. Don't forget to make xorg-server >= 1.18 block xf86-input-evdev < 2.10; otherwise, it can result in a system lacking /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf, meaning catch-all configuration is absent. TIA. this don't alow to me to use keyboard on my system because ati-drivers need xorg server 1.17 and it can't use evdev. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1038698-highlight-atidrivers.html :) report a bug. when use wireless keyboard and mouse combo, gnome or kde would got freeze sometimes, and once desktop locked, couldn't even login again. can't find any message from log. If comment #6 is resolved, this bug can be closed. Thanks anyway. Old versions of xf86-input-evdev are gone from the tree now. Old versions of xf86-input-evdev are gone from the tree now. |
