| 16:28.56 | rahsputin | !xorg.conf |
| 16:28.56 | dpkg | From Lenny onwards, xorg mostly configures itself. Resolution is set by your monitor/graphics card (unless they're broken) or by your desktop environment or <xrandr>. From Squeeze, input hotplugging saves duplicating settings and restarting X after changes. The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is usually no longer needed and is often blank. Manual configuration is still possible, see <xorg config lenny> <xorg config squeeze>. |
| 16:29.11 | rahsputin | !xorg config squeeze |
| 16:29.11 | dpkg | From squeeze onwards, you can often use an <empty xorg.conf>. Configure your keyboard layout for both X and console in /etc/default/console-setup or "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" (not xorg.conf). If you have further things you wish to configure, use "X -configure" ("X -configure :1" if server is already active) to produce a xorg.conf template. Ask me about <xorg hal>. http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/InputHotplugGuide |
| 16:31.41 | rahsputin | !mouse |
| 16:31.42 | dpkg | methinks mouse is rumour has it, mouse is if you're having trouble with mice in xorg, go read /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-mouse/README.gz, or a small furry rodent found in many parts of this world. See also <2.6 mouse>. |
| 16:32.00 | rahsputin | !2.6 mouse |
| 16:32.00 | dpkg | 2.6 mouse is, like, modprobe psmouse; modprobe mousedev; echo -e "psmouse\nmousedev" >> /etc/modules and choose mouse device /dev/input/mice and mouse type ExplorerPS/2. See http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/2199 or the #debian FAQ (http://wiki.debian.org/OtherHardware#MyPS.2BAC8-2mousenolongerworkswitha2.6.xkernel). |
| 16:32.46 | rahsputin | !xorg hal |
| 16:32.47 | dpkg | From squeeze onwards, Xorg uses <hal> for configuration. You can now change the configuration for your mouse pointers etc without having to restart X and you don't need to configure the keyboard layout for console and X separately. This vastly reduces the amount of code duplication between kernel and Xorg which reduces the amount of "bloat"; why should Xorg try to work out what devices are attached when the kernel already knows? |
