From e8534d47c8524ac081c2e3e6ebaabe4c6b274a18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hutterer Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2008 13:38:50 +0930 Subject: Don't grab devices unless specified through the config options. Grabbing event devices stops in-kernel event forwarding, most notably rfkill and the "Macintosh mouse button emulation" device. Let's not do that. Option "GrabDevice" forces grabbing the device. --- man/evdev.man | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) (limited to 'man') diff --git a/man/evdev.man b/man/evdev.man index 3b0f3b1..ee126f1 100644 --- a/man/evdev.man +++ b/man/evdev.man @@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ evdev \- Generic Linux input driver .BI " Option \*qPath\*q \*q" path \*q .BI " Option \*qEmulate3Buttons\*q \*q" True \*q .BI " Option \*qEmulate3Timeout\*q \*q" 50 \*q +.BI " Option \*qGrabDevice\*q \*q" False \*q \ \ ... .B EndSection .fi @@ -120,6 +121,13 @@ emulation mode.
