I guess that would have to be done trough some matrix, but the easiest way out was to simply get libinput out of the way.Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966442884730426878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112936277054198647.post-28021184742771815362016-09-01T09:16:30.981+10:002016-09-01T09:16:30.981+10:00Sébastien: this is already a problem and won't...Sébastien: this is already a problem and won't change. You can't change the driver from the session, only from the xorg.conf so nothing really changes here. You already have to do manual symlinks to achieve this and you can still do it afterwards.<br /><br />Berend: we've put the distribution-provided config snippets into /usr since 2008 or so, with the local configuration in /etc. nothing changes here except the filename for the libinput config snippet (and thus the sort order)Peter Huttererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204066043271384535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112936277054198647.post-40857575621831890002016-09-01T00:39:36.626+10:002016-09-01T00:39:36.626+10:00This sounds wrong.

Drivers go in /usr, config goes in /etc. Some installations have /usr read-only (can't add or remove a driver), and /etc read-write.<br /><br />An example where this could break: LTSP, live DVDs.Berend De Schouwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02513818138993960012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112936277054198647.post-88659761163578030212016-08-31T23:28:34.680+10:002016-08-31T23:28:34.680+10:00And what if a user wants to install both GNOME and...And what if a user wants to install both GNOME and Xfce (for example), and choose the session at login time. Assuming that GNOME relies on libinput, and Xfce relies on synaptics and the other drivers.<br /><br />I think this use case should still be supported, and ideally in a smart way: if both libinput and synaptics are installed, GNOME would choose libinput, and Xfce would choose synaptics. Isn't that possible?Sébastien Wilmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083594626775909113noreply@blogger.com
