Talk:Xorg Input Hotplugging
From ArchWiki
Section 6.2 says: "... configure hal to use the kbd/mouse drivers anyways ...".
How would this be done? --MSchmarck 02:07, 2 December 2008 (EST)
Arrow/special keys and correct keyboard layout
There are two entries in the FAQ section:
- arrow/special keys do not work
- how to correct keyboard layout
but these are two faces of the same problem, with common solutions. Actually there are 3 ways to correct this problem:
- Using the desktop environment keyboard layout options (KDE/Gnome/XFCE/etc...)
- Using setxkbmap <xkb_layout> in scripts/programs
- Modifying the hal configuration by adding a suitable 10-keymap.fdi in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
If nobody complains, I'll merge the two FAQ sections and rewrite this part. --zeb 09:05, 2 December 2008 (EST)
Konsole crashes/the systray icons disappear on right click
Although the mentioned advice is correct, that does not concern Xorg input hotplugging, but more Xorg 1.5 in general. There is already a note in the Nvidia page, but that is not entirely satisfying, as this option also concerns ATi cards. I propose to move this note to the Xorg page. --zeb 04:21, 10 December 2008 (EST)
