Bug 194313 – x11-base/xorg-server-1.4-r1 doesn't install x11-input.fdi

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ben Gamari 2007-09-30 20:37:57 UTC]

Despite compiling with USE=hal, x11-input.fdi doesn't get installed to /etc/hal/fdi/information as it should to facilitate input hotplug.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xorg-server

Could you please check whether there's an upstream patch to do this properly?

It seems that this needs to be fixed in hal itself.

x11-input.fdi is now installed by sys-apps/hal-0.5.10 in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi
Is that correct or does it need to be installed by xorg-server when USE="hal" rather than by hal itself?

That is quite correct. I'm talking with the Gentoo hal maintainer right now to also install some preconfigured examples, which should help a bit.
