[edit] Before upgrade
- Backup your
/etc/X11directory. - Backup the old versions of xorg-server and drivers. This can be done with
quickpkg. -
xorg-serversupports hot plugging through the event interface so ensure theevdevdriver is enabled inINPUT_DEVICESinmake.conf.
[edit] Basic upgrade
- Read and follow Gentoo's Xorg-server 1.8 Upgrade Guide
- Read Gentoo's Xorg-server 1.9 Upgrade Guide
[edit] After upgrade
- Rebuild all drivers with new
xorg-server, you may useqlistfromportage-utilsin order to get list of installed drivers:emerge -1 $(qlist -IC x11-drivers/) -av
[edit] Configuration
In order to configure devices that hotplugging does not handle, you may use /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d instead of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. xorg.conf is optional and if you don't need any special configuration, you may use xorg without it.
[edit] Example config: keyboard with polish layout
| Code: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf |
Section "InputClass" Identifier "keyboard-all" Driver "evdev" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "pl" MatchIsKeyboard "on" EndSection |
[edit] Known Issues
Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log if you have problems with new xorg-server. Also you can notice that some errors present even for working config and xorg, here is the possible:
[ 852.864] (EE) ioctl EVIOCGNAME failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
This error can be ignored but in order to have everything clean add this MatchDevicePath "/dev/inpute/event*" into your xorg.conf
| Code: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf |
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev pointer catchall"
Driver "evdev"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/evdev*"
EndSection
