Smdev is simple device manager. It handles device hotplug, module autoloading and managing device nodes. It's alternative to udev, eudev and mdev.
Install
It is recommended to make LiveCD or LiveUSB before rebooting first time with smdev
. It is possible that your system goes into unbootable state if something goes wrong. If you wish to remove eudev you should do it after you have made sure everything is working with smdev.
Disable udev USE Flags
First you need to disable udev
and gudev
use flags.
/etc/portage/make.conf
(bash source code) USE="$USE -udev -gudev"
Configure Input Devices
Then enable keyboard
and mouse
drivers instead of evdev
. For touchpad you can use synaptics
driver.
/etc/portage/make.conf
(bash source code) INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"
Rebuild World
Now you have to rebuild world for new settings to take effect.
root # emerge -uavDN @world root # emerge -av --depclean
Emerge smdev
Now you can emerge smdev
.
root # emerge -av smdev
Configure X.Org
Configure X.Org to use kbd
(keyboard) and mouse
instead of evdev
. Use "InputDevice"
instead of "InputClass"
.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-keyboard.conf
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "keyboard0" Driver "kbd" option "AutoServerLayout" "on" Option "XkbLayout" "fi" EndSection
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-mouse.conf
Section "InputDevice" identifier "Mouse0" driver "mouse" option "AutoServerLayout" "on" option "device" "/dev/input/mice" EndSection
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-touchpad.conf
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "touchpad0" Driver "synaptics" option "AutoServerLayout" "on" Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1" Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1" Option "SoftButtonAreas" "65% 0 0 20% 45% 60% 0 20%" Option "AreaTopEdge" "20%" EndSection
Add smdev to sysinit runlevel
Now you can add smdev to sysinit runlevel. You also need to remove eudev entries from all runlevels.
root # rc-update add smdev sysinit root # rc-update del udev sysinit root # rc-update del udev-mount sysinit root # rc-update del udev-postmount boot
