|
|
Hi there
'till today I used the deprecated way to set my keyboard layout, that is using xorg.conf. I used xkb driver instead evdev for somehow using evdev there makes my keyboard conflict with my mouse - kinda weird... Then I came up with the insane idea of using HAL now, as any normal person, and then I remembered why I chose to use xorg.conf instead. HAL doesn't listen to me. It doesn't matter what layout I set in /etc/hal/fdi/policy, HAL ignores it. So, if I wish to make my keyboard work, I must use setxkbmaps br_spec everytime I turn my computer on.
Another little thing that annoys me is that I try to use kbdrate to set delay to 150 and rate to 50. It doesn't work. Even when I set that in xorg.conf it just ignores it in X, though it works in ttys. If I want to make it works in X sessions I MUST open KDE4 systemsettings and change the delay and rate there - although they are already set to 150 and 50, I must change it to something else and then back again. Doing that EVERYTIME I turn my computer on is REALLY annoying.
So... any idea on how to solve these problems?
EDIT#1: Everything is solved now. X is using libudev. _________________ "Nolite arbitrari quia venerim mittere pacem in terram non veni pacem mittere sed gladium" (Yeshua Ha Mashiach)

So, till xorg-server starts using libudev...
Check the values in hal daemon first - I suspect, that either
your fdi file is invalid or you're setting incorrect values.
After checking values in hald, post your fdi file. |

Please, could you be clearer? How do I do that?
About my fdi files, I *tried* to follow exactly this guide. The only two files I altered are 10-keymap.fdi and 10-xinput-configuration.fdi. I know that the mentioned guide tells about only the 10-xinput-configuration.fdi, but I found other guides who told about 10-keymap.fdi, so I tried both. Neither works. _________________ "Nolite arbitrari quia venerim mittere pacem in terram non veni pacem mittere sed gladium" (Yeshua Ha Mashiach) |

Well, there's a whole sticky about it.
Anyway, as variant is empty, simply don't set it,
instead of putting an empty tag.
And I do hope, that by "files I altered" you've meant:
"files, that I've copied somewhere under /etc/hal/fdi and modified them".
Looking at your attempts, the only thing that needs a change from default is the layout. |

Well, as you said, I copied and altered them. So the empty tag was already there. But I tried removing it too, nothing changed. _________________ "Nolite arbitrari quia venerim mittere pacem in terram non veni pacem mittere sed gladium" (Yeshua Ha Mashiach) |
