Hey all - I got Keyboard working, and it works in the search boxes too.

I commented out makexconf in /etc/upstart/x.conf
I made my filesystem rw
then I added this to /etc/x.conf and killed x proccess, so it rereads this ( restart x doeswnt re-read the upstart x file )


Quote:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "keyboard"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "AlwaysCore"
EndSection


Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Kindle"
Screen "Kscreen"
InputDevice "multitouch" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
This won't gracefully handle the input# changing, nor would it work will on reboot etc.


And bt replacing the "multitouch" section with this:
Quote:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "mouse"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
I am able to have my mouse drive around the screen, but still no mouse pointer is visible.

I was hoping that was a feature of the multitouch driver, and switching to evdev would make it show up.
