|
|
Hi!
I'm running gentoo on my Dell Latitude D400 for a few now (migrated from debian).
Last week i switched to "testing" (~x86) and after doing an Code: | emerge --update --deep --newuse world | i came up with a problem with evdev.
My laptop has an inbuilt touchpoint and a touchpad, which i used for copy/paste with the "Emulate3Buttons"-Option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. As evdev doesn't seem to support this option anymore, i'm not able to use copy/paste.
I've been searching in this forum, as well as on google, but all i found were posts, regarding the use of mice, which already had 3 Buttons, and the utilisation of xmodmap or xkeycaps to assign commands to mouse buttons. Problem is: I don't have a third mouse button, so there's nothing to assign to...
At this point, i would even install software to use the copy/paste function again.
Can anyone help me to get this working again?
Or is there any way to prevent Xorg from using evdev? (Haven't found any appropriate USE-Flags...)
Regards,

If you unselect the kernel option "Event interface", there should be no evdev, also, you can unmerge xf86-input-evdev.
However, you could try xev, which prints out keycodes, maybe it helps you. |
