“InputDevice” section

An InputDevice section is considered active if there is a reference to it in the active ServerLayout section. There may be multiple InputDevice sections. There will normally be at least two: one for the core (primary) keyboard, and one for the core pointer. InputDevice sections have the following format:

Section ìInputDeviceî

Identifier ìInputDeviceIDî

Driver ìDriverNameî

[Option Ö]

. . .

EndSection

The Identifier entry specifies the unique name for this input device and must match an InputDeviceID in the active ServerLayout section in order to be active.

The Driver entry specifies the name of the driver to use for this input device.

InputDevice sections recognize some driver-independent Options, which are described here. See the individual input driver manual pages for a description of the device-specific options that can be entered here.

When this is set, the input device is

 

 

installed as the core (primary) pointer

 

 

device. There must be no more than one

 

 

core pointer. If this option is not set here, or

 

 

in the ServerLayout section, or from the

 

 

-pointer command line option, then the first

 

 

input device that is capable of being used as

 

 

a core pointer will be selected as the core

 

 

pointer. Source: XF86Config man page.
