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:
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"

<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_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 :)
