At the moment I am interested in changing default font directories, and the only place I have found is /usr/share/sax/api/data/StaticFontPathList, however I find myself a bit reluctant to edit it, as it's supposed to be rpm-controlled and not edited by hands.

I'm not the final expert, but I guess you will need to do some changes by hand.

Question is how often the changes need to be made and how big is the effort to maintain the whole story.

I would do the following:

- Change to "/etc/X11" - Save working "xorg.conf" to e.g. "xorg.conf-saxorg" - Edit "xorg.conf" - Save edited "xorg.conf" to e.g. "xorg.conf-mod"

As soon as a new versions of related files of tools are applied you need to check if changes need to be transfered. But that should not happen to often ...

Hand work, but should work. Of course you could do similar things with the "StaticFontPathList"

It's really pity. Maybe I should try to file a bug report on it?

BTW, I have noticed that sax doesn't recognizes my mouse correctly. I have a synaptics touchpad built-in in the notebook and an external wireless logitech, while sax detects 3 mouses, of which 2 are detected incorrectly and without manual intervention I couldn't get a working wheel.

What is the output of the command "hwinfo --mouse" ? To compare it I included the output of this command issued on my notebook:

========== [output of "hwinfo --mouse"] ==========

18: USB 00.0: 10503 USB Mouse I have a similar output here, just that model/device fields contain USB RECEIVER instead of mouse, and some crazy info is filled in "Driver Info", like 8 buttons and 2 wheels :)

25: PS/2 00.0: 10500 PS/2 Mouse This one is the same.

========== [/output of "hwinfo --mouse"] ==========

I don't know if it helps, but here is the configuration of my notebook (external USB mouse [non-wireless / non-logitech] and Synaptics touchpad)

========== [extract of "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"] ==========

I have one more section. Strange point is that "explorerps/2" protocol doesn't works for me correctly, and I had to correct it to "imps/2".

========== [/extract of "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"] ==========

Never give up !

Ha! I am quite experienced FreeBSD user, and usually just do it all by hand. So in this sense I am a wrong person to get scared with incorrect mouse detection in SaX :) In the worst case I could simply uninstall it, and do all in the traditional way ;) -- Best regards, Alexander.

Sorry, I didn't understood the point. You mean that one doesn't have to specify the exact device for synaptics driver? -- Best regards, Alexander.

Hi Alexander,

...

You mean that one doesn't have to specify the exact device for synaptics driver?

the InputDevice stanza that sax generated does not work properly for me. The Device for a synaptics touchpad is not /dev/input/mice. auto-dev should find the correct device (/dev/input/eventX). Maybe you have to use another Device for the external mouse, for me /dev/input/mice works, but if not, try /dev/input/eventY Also the Protocol is not explorerps2 because synaptics has much more features, look at the man-page. (Substitute X and Y by the correct numbers for your system)

Strange, it seems to work fine for me. I have a following entry for the touchpad: Section "InputDevice" Driver "synaptics" Identifier "Mouse[3]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" Option "Name" "Touchpad" Option "SHMConfig" "on" Option "Vendor" "Synaptics" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection -- Best regards, Alexander.
