From b59a1a25dad4437e013ce8d3d65d4591c6f4ee4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hutterer Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2013 14:12:26 +1000 Subject: Add option TypeName (#62831) evdev tries to assign the right XI 1.x type-name based on various device capabilities. In some cases, that fails. e.g. the Mionix Naos 5000 mouse looks like a keyboard. And we assign a keyboard type in that case since there are plenty of keyboards that also advertise some axes or others. Add a new option TypeName to allow for system-wide configuration of such devices in a quirks file. This can also be used to address #55867 X.Org Bug 62831 Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer --- man/evdev.man | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'man/evdev.man') diff --git a/man/evdev.man b/man/evdev.man index 2709d7a..220dd13 100644 --- a/man/evdev.man +++ b/man/evdev.man @@ -220,6 +220,12 @@ is mapped to the negative Y axis motion and button number .I N2 is mapped to the positive Y axis motion.
