.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.B evdev
|
||||
is an __xservername__ input driver for Linux\'s generic event devices. It
|
||||
therefore supports all input devices that the kernel knows about, including
|
||||
most mice and keyboards.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B evdev
|
||||
driver can serve as both a pointer and a keyboard input device, and may be
|
||||
used as both the core keyboard and the core pointer. Multiple input devices
|
||||
are supported by multiple instances of this driver, with one Load
|
||||
directive for evdev in the Module section of your __xconfigfile__ for each
|
||||
input device that will use this driver.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
|
||||
In general, any input device that the kernel has a driver for can be accessed
|
||||
through the
|
||||
.B evdev
|
||||
driver. See the Linux kernel documentation for a complete list.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
|
||||
Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration
|
||||
details and for options that can be used with all input drivers. This
|
||||
section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The following driver
|
||||
.B Options
|
||||
are supported:
|
||||
.TP 7
|
||||
.BI "Option \*qDevice\*q \*q" string \*q
|
||||
Specifies the device through which the device can be accessed. This will
|
||||
generally be of the form \*q/dev/input/eventX\*q, where X is some integer.
|
||||
The mapping from device node to hardware is system-dependent. This option is
|
||||
mandatory, and there is no default setting.
