A reference template resides at /usr/X11R6/hp/default The default X0devices file contains lines of text, but does not specify any input configuration. Rather, it assumes the default input configuration of one keyboard and one pointer. If this is your configuration, you may not want to change the contents of the file for three reasons: • Clients can request and receive the services of an input device regardless of whether the device is specified in a device configuration file. Thus, you need not change the X0devices file, or create a custom file, even though you have a custom input configuration. • Even if you have other screen configurations, you can rely on the default input device configuration without having to create an X*devices file to match every X*screens file. For example, if you had a custom X*screens file, you would not necessarily need an X*devices file. A custom X*devices file is required only when you want to tell the X server about a custom input device configuration.

X*devices file
The X server reads an input device file,
X0devices
in
/etc/X11
, to find out what
input devices it should open and attach to the display.
________________________________________________________________________
Note:
A sample
X0devices
file is loaded into
/etc/X11
at installation. A reference
template resides at
/usr/X11R6/hp/default
.
________________________________________________________________________
The default
X0devices
file contains lines of text, but does not specify any input
configuration. Rather, it assumes the default input configuration of one keyboard and one
pointer.
If this is your configuration, you may not want to change the contents of the file for three
reasons:
•
Clients can request and receive the services of an input device regardless of
whether the device is specified in a device configuration file. Thus, you need not
change the
X0devices
file, or create a custom file, even though you have a
custom input configuration.
•
Even if you have other screen configurations, you can rely on the default input
device configuration without having to create an
X*devices
file to match
every
X*screens
file. For example, if you had a custom
X*screens
file,
you would not necessarily need an
X*devices
file.
A custom
X*devices
file is required only when you want to tell the X server about a
custom input device configuration.
Using Wacom® digitizing tablets
A
beta-release
driver for Wacom Intuos™ digitizing tablets is included with this Linux
release. To enable, first connect your Intuos tablet to an available serial port on the back
of your workstation.
