X11R7.0

[observer <obs...@bl...>]

Hi,
Has anyone tried X11R7.0, or 6.9?
They have the isolate device feature and a new evedev input driver, 
giving multiuser out of the box, its already in Fedora rawhide, but
after trying an update of fc4 in qemu I think i will have to wait
until fc5 test 2, the update didnt really break much but Im just not
ready to fix it

Yes, I'm runnig this config. But I reported the problems on
the second head regarding dpms on this list already.
Config:

debian - sid
linux 2.4.14
nvidia 5600 (primary)
matrox mystique (secondary)
X11R7.0 evdev

I'll give faketty a try, soon. Perhaps the dpms problems are sold
then.

Hi,

I've installed the new Debian Xorg 6.9 packages. They dropped the 
proprietary
support for evdev and implemented a clean evdev module (which is a good 
news).
But actually I can't get my keyboard working any more with this new 
driver. It seems
that the evdev driver doesn't support the XkbLayout option of Xorg.

Any ideas?

Here some pices of my config:

vanilla linux 2.6.13
debian sid
xorg 6.9.0

no kernel pathces needed

Thanks Peter

This worked for me:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
#        Driver          "kbd"
        Driver          "evdev"
#        Option          "Protocol"      "evdev"
       Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/event2"
#        Option          "Dev Phys"      "isa0060/serio0/input0"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc102"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "no"
EndSection

You don't have the "XkbRules", perhaps that is the problem?
Also check that you have the correct event device.
(Try cat /dev/input/event0 at the console, then type a bit to
verify that the event device is working.)
If none of this helps, try using the same order of statements.
Finally, X.org 6.9 is in unstable for a reason, there may be some bugs.
Perhaps "pc104" or "de" is broken.  If so, use "reportbug xserver-xorg"
