Question on udev/evdev

I am looking around and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction where I can create a file a-la "10-evdev.conf" in a desktop linux xorg.conf.d directory so that I can add a line similar to:

Code:

Section "InputClass"

   Identifier     "NotOnXorgServer"

   MatchProduct   "someInputDevice"

   Option         "Ignore" "on"

EndSection

If this is even possible as of now

I don't want the kernel to stop supporting the device so I wouldn't like any "Unload the module" answers, I need Xorg to ignore it. This really touches on udev more than evdev, but anyways :)

Thanks :)

Hi pablocrossa,

im not sure if i get you right :)
but you should be able
to set up a device.fdi HAL rule
look at:

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi

Sorry for the late response, this was exactly what I needed, thank you :)

For future reference, created file
/etc/hal/fdi/preprobe/10-blacklist.fdi
with contents

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">

    <device>

        <match key="info.category" contains="input">

            <match key="input.product" contains="PartNameOfDevice">

                <merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>

            </match>

        </match>

    </device>

</deviceinfo>
