. no keybard and mice, it will go to "event1", it fores me to change the setting in xorg.conf while the hardware changes. back to top view user's profile send private message send e-mail visit poster's website msn messenger dougal joined: 19 oct 2005 posts: 1447 location: back in the village postposted: yesterday, at 7:48 am post subject: re: it is realy too much for me to work on the kernel tonylu9 wrote: i have a question , can we make the touchscreen stay at "event3"? there's something you can try (i'm just guessing here): look up the "minor" and "major" numbers for "event3". i think you can do that by using the "file" command on the device (/dev/usb/even3 ?), or by looking in /proc -- /proc/partitions has them for partitions, maybe you'll find it in /proc/bus/usb/devices or /proc/bus/input/devices. now try and associate the touchscreen driver with those numbers: look in /etc/modprobe.conf and try adn figure out how it's done (i've nenevr done it myself, you use "charmajor" and "charminor"). _________________ what's the ugliest part of your body? some say your nose some say your toes but i think it's your mind back to top view user's profile send private message davidbell joined: 24 nov 2006 posts: 104 postposted: yesterday, at 6:01 pm tempestuous wrote:
