Description Gokdeniz Karadag 2009-04-06 15:08:18 UTC

In the xorg-server 1.5 upgrade guide, it is stated that kernel must be compiled with evdev support (if the user is to use HAL).

Currentlyin this setting is only specified in menuconfig hierarchy, in box titled `Code Listing 2.1`

Grepping a config file is easier, so my proposal for that section is;

""""
First, make sure you've built xorg-server with INPUT_DEVICES="evdev"

Then make sure that you've enabled evdev in your kernel. You can look for "CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y" in your kernel config file, or you can check the following kernel configuration menu item.

= Code Listing 2.1.... =
"""""
