 Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 3:51 am Post subject: Having X.Org Autodetect When USB Mouse Is Inserted |
 |
|
I'm using udev and would like for X.Org to automatically detect when I plug my USB mouse (/dev/input/mouse1) into my ThinkPad. The TrackPoint works fine, but the USB mouse won't work unless X.Org is started with it plugged in. /dev/input/mouse1 appears and disappears as the mouse the mouse is inserted and removed, as it should.

Hi!
As far as I know XInput hotplugging is still in design phase. What you can do now is to use "/dev/input/mice" in the "Input Device" section for device name (instead of /dev/input/mouse1).

Well, I don't use udev, but is it not possible the "standart" way?
i.e. Generate an entry in yout xorg.conf for the second mouse, just non't set it as core pointer.
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "track_pt_pad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "LeftEdge" "1700"
Option "RightEdge" "5300"
Option "TopEdge" "1700"
Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.08"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "3"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Server Layout"
Screen "Screen0"
InputDevice "Track_pt_pad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
# Option "OffTime" "10"
EndSection

That's how I do it at my Thinkpad 
Have Fun

does you enabled event interface in the kernel? (i guess device drivers->input devices suport)
just make an extramouse in you xorg.conf that device is /dev/input/eventX or something like this, make it a "SendCoreEvents"
i think it will work
