Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20040105-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: sid patch

Hi, the following patch (along with x11_usbmice_hack: true) allows
users to use the awesome evdev module in XFree86.  The evdev module is
included in the Debian sid version of XFree86 4.3.0, so many Debian
users can already take advantage of evdev.

Please apply, it's based on the minimal input.agent found at (the author
of the evdev module for X):

http://people.debian.org/~warp/evdev/input.agent

More info is found here:

http://people.debian.org/~warp/evdev/readme

Thanks!

Hi,

the hotplug package is dead, and I think the evdev driver supports some
kind of hotplugging these days.  Support for input hotplug in the X
server is being worked on upstream.
As such, I'm closing this bug.

Cheers,
Julien
