Xorg 1.5 XInput Hotplug

Sat 04 Oct 2008 07:58:46 PM CST

之前寫過 Xorg 1.4 XInput Hotplug，提到 xorg, evdev 可以利用 hal 自動偵測硬體載入 driver 與設定參數，而即將 release 的 Xorg 1.5 又新增了一些可以在 hal policy 裡設定的參數：

input.x11_driver 可以設定這個 device 要使用的 driver，對應到 xorg.conf 的 Driver 選項
input.x11_options.

如今我的 /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi 長這樣：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
      <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
          <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">mouse</merge>
          <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
              string="Linux">
              <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
          </match>
      </match>

    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
        <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbRules" type="string">base</merge>
        <!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to
        keyboard otherwise). -->
        <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">keyboard</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel" type="string">pc105</merge>
        <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
            string="Linux">
            <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
            <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel" type="string">evdev</merge>
        </match>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbVariant" type="string" />
        <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">dvorak</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions" type="string">ctrl:nocaps</merge>
    </match>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
        <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.Protocol" type="string">auto-dev</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">on</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.LeftEdge" type="string">1100</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.RightEdge" type="string">5800</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.TopEdge" type="string">1600</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.BottomEdge" type="string">4200</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.HorizEdgeScroll" type="string">on</merge>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

我的 /etc/X11/xorg.conf 只剩下必要的：

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "i915gm"
    Driver      "intel"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Default Screen"
    Device      "i915gm"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection "Display"
        Modes       "1280x768"
        Virtual     1280 1792
    EndSubSection
EndSection

X 啟動的 log 如下：

未來各 distro 可以提供預設的 fdi 檔，常見的 input device 都可以隨插即用 :)
