Description Pau Amma 2020-03-15 04:38:16 UTC

Following the switch to libinput in Xorg server 1.20, examples 5.7 and 5.9 need to use "libinput" instead of "keyboard" as the driver name.

(Note: this may be applicable to 12.x and 13 only, in which case the examples would need to be split, not just changed.)

Just omitting "Driver" entirely works as well, at least with the newer (udev) version, didn't test the older one.

Log:
  Track switch to libinput in xorg-server 1.20.8

  Remove the Driver line from examples 5.7 and 5.9, thus making them
  valid for both variant configurations of X (with or without libinput).

  For 12.1 and xorg-server 1.20.8, add "Set kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=6 in
  /etc/sysctl.conf if not using moused" important paragraph to section
  "5.4.7.2. Mice and Pointing Devices".
